Overview:

After a long ‘covid hiatus’ , The Taste of River North is roaring back this year to take its rightful position as one of Chicago’s most popular neighborhood food centric festivals.  The River North neighborhood is one of the hottest restaurant and entertainment districts in Chicago, a city that is world famous for its dining scene. Foodies flock to this event to experience signature dishes offered by some of Chicago’s favorite restaurants.  A few festival food vendors round out the event’s culinary offerings, and all of it can be washed down with cold beer or a choice selection of wine.  And all of this consumption happens while some of the best party jams play out on the Main Stage. 

Meanwhile, at this family-friendly event, dogs are welcome guests with their own food and activities, kids are entertained in a designated Kid’s Zone and a wide variety of merchandise vendors offer shoppers everything imaginable under the sun.
