Taste of Chicago Returns with Iconic Flavors | Chicago News

Taste of Chicago is back in Grant Park next week, July 8–12, with over 100 food vendors and big-name music acts like Common and Babyface. Free daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, it’s a feast for the senses celebrating Chicago’s vibrant food culture. Longtime favorites like Ponce Restaurant (Puerto Rican classics since 1996) and Eli’s Cheesecake (since the very first Taste in 1980) return, while Cafe Tola debuts with legendary empanadas. Yum Dum Food Truck brings kimchi rice balls and soup dumplings. The mayor called food the heartbeat of Chicago — a delicious reminder of community, dreams, and shared history.
