Chipotle Cultivate Festival – Chicago
Cultivate Banner

The Chipotle Cultivate Festival returns to Chicago’s Lincoln Park on September 15. Cultivate brings together food, farmers, chefs, and artisans to immerse festival goers with all of the best of the Good Food Movement.

Featuring many of Chicago’s very own food and musical talent, you’ll have a truly local experience as you visit the event, and you’ll see some familiar faces from the Good Food Festival & Conference and Chicago area farmers markets. With two chef demonstration tents, a music stage, artisan food hall, and kids area, there’s something for everyone at this exciting festival.

True to the founding values of Chipotle, proceeds of Chicago Cultivate will support FamilyFarmed.org to help us continue our work supporting family farmers throughout the nation.
