Chicago has an amazing number of food festivals, with something for everyone!

Lincoln Park Greek Fest June 1–3, Taste of River North July 20–22, and Chicago Hot Dog Fest August 10–12 are a few of the festivals that the family can enjoy together. Some events have "kid zones" with fun games and activities for the children!

If you are interested in beverage tastings (21 and older, please!), you are sure to find an event to quench your thirst! Whether you go for brews, wines, cocktails, margaritas, or ciders, Chicago's festival scene has got you covered!
