The Taste of Chicago, one of the city’s most popular summer festivals, returns in a few weeks – but at a different time.
This year, the festival will take place in Grant Park from September 6-8, according to officials. The timing was changed due to major summer events in the city, including the NASCAR Chicago Street Race and the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
Over 40 food vendors and more than a dozen food trucks will line the three-day festival, which will also feature free performances by big names like CeeLo Green, known for his 2010 hit “Forget You.”
Curious about vendors and music performances? We have what you need.
