Ready for music and food festivals to kick off in Grant Park? This year, Taste of Chicago is welcoming 67 vendors to the free festival—17 of which haven't been at the event before. You'll see grilled cheese from Cheesie's and tacos from El Patron make their way downtown this year, as well as a lineup of food trucks and pop-up restaurants.
All of the vendors are offering their signature dishes as well as their "taste of" portions, priced at $3 (or less), so you can sample an array of dishes and make a list of spots to visit around the city. Taste of Chicago takes over Grant Park from July 5–9, so take a look at the full lineup of vendors below to see start planning your menu.
