How perfect is it that the Feb. 1 Saturday once-a-month Wicker Park Indoor Farmers Market is the day before the Sunday Super Bowl? Doors are open at Robey Hall, 2022 W. North Ave., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Plenty of time to scoop up some great game time, or not, fabulous food.

While the Logan Square Farmers Market (LSFM) is an indoor event on Sundays from Nov. 3 thru Mar. 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2363 N. Milwaukee (Emporium), this premier market will have some outdoor vendors.
