We will be having a Jam during Taste this year. We play every there every year, and often times have people come in from out of town. We've had some pretty good turnouts in the past. People come and enjoy the food, the music, and the footbag.
A few out of towners have expressed interest this year, so we are making the Jam official this year by announcing it.
Admission: FREE
When: June 24 - July 3
I am interested in when people are available. We would like to have a 2 day stretch at any time during the 10 day event. The first weekend/week is country music
. The link below has details on the performers. On July 3rd there is an amazing fireworks show.Detailed schedule of Music Performers and activities

Every year, more than 65 of the most popular Chicago restaurants open up food booths all over Grant Park so visitors can sample a broad array of goodies from this most diverse restaurant city. The food, though a touch overpriced, is eminently affordable, and the other attractions of the Taste are all free: four entertainment stages feature live music, many stalls offer cooking demonstrations and others sell arts and crafts. Past festivals have featured a stunt high-diving show, various rides and a nightly dance (with free lessons.) Over three million people crowd in, so be prepared to fight your way to pizza, pork sandwiches, stuffed peppers, ribs, egg rolls, bratwurst.
