The Market of Lake Geneva

04/03/2026

We are so excited to participate in this throughout the entire month of April!

The Regional Indie Bookstore Passport Program runs April 1 – April 30, and we’re so excited to be part of it along with 16 other amazing indie bookstores across Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois!

Pick up a passport at any participating store and start your bookstore road trip! Visit at least 5 stores to earn an exclusive “I Support Indie Bookstores” sticker and raffle entries for gift cards, book prizes, and more. The more stores you visit, the more raffle entries you earn, and if you make it to all 17, you’ll score a free tote bag and a total of 4 raffle entries!

Spend at least $15 at each store to qualify, and don’t forget to turn in your completed passport by April 30!

Follow along on each store’s social media to see grand prize reveals and tote bag designs. Let the bookstore adventure begin!

Hoping you can join us for a tasty event for a great cause!

🍕🍯🍷 Taste your way through Lake Geneva… for a cause that matters 💛
Get ready for a night out that hits all the right notes—Taste of Lake Geneva is not your average food event… it’s a full-on experience.

💫We’re talking THREE amazing stops. Three totally different vibes. One unforgettable night.

✨ Start the evening with hot honey magic (yes, it’s as good as it sounds) with honey sommelier Emily Trainor of Queen Bee Artisan Market + Oakfire Lake Geneva to kick things off right.

🍷 Then we head to the The Bottle Shop - Lake Geneva as you sip your way through a curated wine tasting paired with local cheeses + artisanal meats (aka your dream snack board).

🌮🍺 And wrap it all up at Geneva Tap House with Cinco de Mayo eats, drinks on tap, DIY guac with Chef Abel Rosas, get ready for some outdoor fun, raffles, and the kind of sweet treats you definitely save room for from Sub-Zero Candy, they are out of this world!

But here’s the heart of it all…
You’ll also get the chance to meet the incredible Forbeck Scholars—brilliant minds from around the world working together to fight cancer. Every bite, sip, and laugh supports that mission. 💫

🎟 $65 per person | $30 designated drivers
🕠 5:30 PM – 10:00 PM
TICKETS >> https://www.forbeckfoundation.org/events

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to make an impact and have some FUN!

This is your sign to grab your people and make a night of it 🥂

A BIG THANK YOU to all these amazing businesses that are partnering with us for this event!
