Taste of Chicago 2024: What to Expect Amid the Changes
Significant Changes at Taste of Chicago 2024
CHICAGO — An omission at this year's Taste of Chicago 2024 will likely ruffle some feathers. Once a lengthy 10-day event that defined Chicago worldwide, Taste of Chicago is now a single weekend at summer's end.
Food Highlights and Participation
Eli's Cheesecake and deep-dish pizza options abound, but none of the restaurants and food trucks participating in the event will offer turkey legs this year. In its heyday, Taste had nearly 100 restaurants to choose from, but it now has just over three dozen and several food trucks.
Comparison to Other Festivals
Lollapalooza, also in Grant Park, offered more than twice as many restaurants this year, highlighting the shrinking scale of Chicago's culinary festival.
Get Ready for Taste of Chicago 2024
WGN-TV recently compiled a list of all things Taste of Chicago, including food vendors, street closures, musical acts, and more. Admission is free and the festival will be open from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. each day. Stay tuned for more updates!
