Amid concerts and a NASCAR race set to close at least some of Grant Park nearly every day between May 18 and Aug. 13, the Taste of Chicago will not take place until after Labor Day from Sept. 8-10.
“Moving this iconic event to the tail end of summer will prolong our vibrant festival season and spur additional tourism and economic activity downtown,” the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, known as DCASE, said in a statement.
At least a portion of Grant Park will be closed every day between June 5 and July 15 to allow NASCAR to stage a street race through downtown Chicago as a part of its championship series, according to the schedule released by the Chicago Park District. The plan to hold the Taste of Chicago after Labor Day represents an about-face for Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who asked the Chicago City Council’s Special Events committee on March 7 to approve a plan to move the Taste to the park in front of Navy Pier on July 1 and July 2. Committee members objected to that proposal, and the measure failed to get a vote. The new plan announced Monday must also be approved by the City Council.
