Feast on Franklin/OctoberFest at Moveable Feast (Geneva)
We just received a note from Moveable Feast in Geneva regarding a few events they would like our readers to start salivating about. They are celebrating their ten year anniversary and would like you to join them for some live music and incredible meals. From the message:Moveable Feast announces a celebration of ten years of love for food and community with Feast on Franklin, a set of block party suppers throughout the summer and fall. Each supper will feature a three course menu featuring local, seasonal ingredients. The dinner will be picnic style dining in the heart of downtown Geneva at 321 Franklin Street.
The dates are scheduled for July 16 [too late for that one, sorry!], August 20 and September 17. Tickets for the Block party suppers cost $65, excluding tax and gratuity. Tickets can be purchased at the store on 321 Franklin Street or by phone at (630) 845-3287.
On Saturday, October 10, Moveable Feast will host OctoberFest for the entire family. The grills will be going from 12pm to 4pm serving up some of the best fall comfort foods. OctoberFest costs $15 per person.
