Join over 30 food vendors and more than 25 performers at Grant Park, by Buckingham Fountain, 301 S. Columbus Drive, as the scaled down, “Bite-sized” Taste of Chicago returns after two years! Indulge in frozen treats and bite-sized meats; then cleanse your palate at the designated beer hall, wine tent, or cocktail lounge. Admission to the venue and concerts is free. Presented by John Deere, The Bite-sized Taste of Chicago will be Friday, July 8 - Sunday, July 10 from Noon - 8 p.m. Details at tasteofchicago.us. “The Taste of Chicago is a wonderful tradition that showcases the diversity of our dynamic restaurant community. It’s one of my favorite summertime pastimes,” said Sam Toia, president and CEO of the Illinois Restaurant Association. “This year’s Taste in the neighborhoods and Grant Park will offer a special bite of the city’s restaurant scenes and the reason why we are the greatest culinary city in the world.” This is your last opportunity to enjoy Chicago-based delicacies at this summer’s Taste of Chicago. This year’s previous Taste of Chicago events were in the neighborhoods of Austin, Pullman, and Little Village on three consecutive Saturdays in June.
