The Taste of Chicago is back this summer, and the city is spreading the flavor across neighborhoods before the big finale downtown. Free and open to the public, the festival will close out the season in Grant Park from Friday, September 5 through Sunday, September 7, running daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. City officials announced more than 60 food vendors, two music stages, and family programming for the Grant Park weekend, calling it one of Chicago’s signature summer traditions. Before the lakefront fills with food tents and music, the Taste has already touched down in Marquette Park, Pullman Park, and Albany Park, keeping the spotlight on neighborhood voices along the way.
Music remains a major draw, and this year’s lineup puts Chicago’s own front and center. Lupe Fiasco, the Grammy-winning rapper raised on the West Side, will headline the main stage Friday evening, a booking that speaks directly to the city’s hip-hop legacy
