Taste of Chicago

It's official, folks: Taste of Chicago is back for 2022! After two years of pop-ups and other pandemic-era modifications, the city-run summertime tradition is returning to Grant Park for a three-day food and music fest. Attendees can explore 30 food vendors as well as Chicago SummerDance lessons and free musical performances from acts like Nelly, Drive-By Truckers and Aterciopelados, which will be spread across three stages. And unlike previous years, you won't be paying with paper food and drink tickets this year—the fest is switching to cash and credit payments only.
