Taste of Chicago

The annual festival will feature dozens of vendors and food trucks, plus musical performances. This year's special programming includes an Eli's Cheesecake Birthday Celebration, an outdoor "Flag Feast" curated by the Design Museum of Chicago and a headlining set from Lupe Fiasco. And just like last year, the Taste of Chicago will be preceded by a series of day-long fests throughout the summer (at Albany Park, Pullman Park and Marquette Park) before heading to Grant Park for the three-day main event.
