Taste of Chicago

No tickets and no admission fees for Taste of Chicago, July 8-10, 2022.

Instead, vendors will be happy to accept cash (remember what that is) and credit cards.

Also, the usual Chicago food draws such as hot dog stands and Eli’s Cheesecake are back but the city’s cultural mix will be evident with Arun’s Thai Restaurant, Tandoor Char House and Mexican cuisine. Bands will be playing on Grant Park stages throughout the festival’s three days.

Taste, headlined this year as Bites, operates 11 a.m. through 9 p.m. by Buckingham Fountain, 301 s. Columbus Dr.

For a list of restaurants visit the city’s pr arm, Choose Chicago and see Taste/Restaurant & Menu .
