Announcing Bite Nite and Foodie Fest 2016
Dec 1, 2015 12:00 AM
The Oak Park River Forest Chamber of Commerce today announced 2016 dates for its annual local restaurant and food celebration: Bite Nite and Foodie Fest.
Bite Nite 2016 will be held Friday, January 29 from 5:30pm - 9:30pm at the Nineteenth Century Club in Oak Park. This is the second year for this popular event, which sold out last year.
This community event is open to the public and will once again feature tastings from fifty local chefs, music, door prizes and a cash bar. Tickets are $30 each or four for $100 and are available on Eventbrite. To purchase tickets with a credit card, click here. (If you are purchasing tickets through your company and need to be invoiced, email the Chamber Office to arrange.)
Bite Nite also acts as the official kick-off to Foodie Fest, now in its third year. Foodie Fest is modeled after "restaurant week" promotions. Participating restaurants will offer special prix fixe meals beginning Thursday, January 28 and ending Thursday February 11. Each three-item prix fixe meal will be priced at either $10, $20 or $30 depending on whether it is a lunch or dinner special and depending on the type of cuisine the restaurant offers.
The Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to sponsor these popular events, which connect restaurants with our local foodies. "Our area is increasingly known as a dining destination," notes Cathy Yen, Executive Director of the Chamber. "We even had people coming in from Chicago to attend Bite Nite." Restaurants, dining and specialty food comprise one of the fastest growing segments of our local economy and Chamber membership.
