Munch March Dessert & Appetizer Crawl

This April, you’re invited to emerge from your hibernation with a laid-back evening of delicious sweets, munchy treats, and community connection. Bring your appetite, your friends, and your excellent vibes: it’s time for the fifth annual Munch March!

This event is 21+ and will be held rain or shine!

Ravenswood’s small businesses are working hard to bring you their tastiest samples yet. We’re talking appetizers, desserts, and drinks designed to transport you to a place where your taste buds become your best buds. While you sample these treats, you’ll stroll between groovy shops and restaurants along Montrose Ave, surrounded by friends, neighbors, and the first green glimmers of spring.

The Munch March is a unique opportunity to sample a variety of our neighborhood’s flavors and menu items in one evening. It’s also a fun way to explore and support the vibrant mix restaurants, taverns, and shops along Montrose Avenue. Check in at the kickoff location in front of BienMeSabe (1635 W Montrose Ave) to get wristbands, punch cards, and event maps. Then, everyone is off to sample some snacks and check out some cool local businesses!

Last year’s event sold out, so we recommend claiming your spot early. Tickets include 14+ tasting-sized portions of appetizers, beverages, and desserts, plus an extra-special tote loaded with goodies from our friends.
