The Taste of Chicago, one of the city's most popular summer festivals, is poised to make a return in a few weeks - but in a different timeslot.
This year, the festival will be held Sept. 6 through 8 in Grant Park, according to officials. Timing was shifted due to big summer events in the city, including NASCAR Chicago Street Race and the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
Over 40 food vendors and more than a dozen food trucks will line the three-day festival, which will also feature free performances by big names, including CeeLo Green, known for his 2010 hit "Forget You."
Curious about vendors and musical performances? We've got you covered.
