The Taste of Chicago (also known locally as The Taste) is the world's largest food festival[citation needed], held in September in Chicago, Illinois in Grant Park. The event is also the largest festival in Chicago.[1] Non-food-related events include live music on multiple stages, including the Petrillo Music Shell, pavilions, and performances. Musical acts vary from nationally known artists like Carlos Santana, Moby, Kenny Rogers, or Robert Plant to name just a few, to local artists. Since 2008, The Chicago Country Music Festival was held simultaneously with the Taste of Chicago but now has its own two-day festival, typically held in the fall.[2] The Taste of Chicago also has rides present which may include a Ferris wheel and the Jump to Be Fit among others.
