The Taste of Chicago returns at a later date than usual again this year. The annual food and music festival is being held in September, partly due to the NASCAR Chicago Street Race, which takes place downtown during first weekend of July. Just like the last two years, the Taste of Chicago will be preceded by a series of day-long fests throughout the summer (at Rogers Park, Marquette Park and Pullman Park) before heading to Grant Park for the three-day main event. As usual, you can expect plenty of food, live music and performances. Curious about what else you need to know? Take a look through our guide to the Taste of Chicago 2024.
