30th Annual Taste of Chicago
There’s food for everybody’s taste at the 30th annual Taste of Chicago, where you’ll find more than 200 menu items at over 50 restaurants serving from booths along Grant Park, cooled by the breezes from Lake Michigan.
This year’s dates are June 25 to July 4, 2010. Admission to the “Taste” is free; you buy tickets (12 for $8) to sample the goodies (which includes a $2 charge for Taste of Chicago amenities). There’s a complete listing of participating restaurants online as well as the entertainment lineup at the Music Shell and the Taste Stage.
Hours are 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., except for July 3 (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and July 4 (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Ticket sales end a half hour before the Taste ends each day. The center of Grant Park is at Jackson Boulevard and Columbus Drive along Lake Shore Drive in downtown Chicago.
The first Taste of Chicago was a one-day event along Michigan Avenue in 1980. For more information on visiting the Windy City, go online.
