Yeah! It's May. Let the festivities begin. Of course, the biggest of all Chicago fests is the Taste of Chicago. In fact, it's the biggest food fest in the world. But it isn't all about the food. It's also about the music. I look forward to the free concerts of famous musicians that would normally cost big bucks to see. Although this event doesn't happen until the end of June, information has finally been released about this year's acts. The schedule is subject to change.
Frankie Beverly and Maze gets the party started June 29th. A lot of baby boomers like this R & B group. I'm not one of them. They're alright, but I'm not going to squeeze myself into that crowd outside Petrillo Shell just to see them. Kenny Rogers headlines the next night with Sara Evans and Craig Morgan doing the honors on Sunday. I'm not a big country fan, so I'll pass these acts too.
In fact, for me, there is no one I've got to see this year at the taste. I may check out Los Lonely Boys who performs on the last night of the festival. More than likely, I'll have to go to the African-Caribbean International Festival of Life that runs from July 4 through the 8 at Washington Park to get my "groove on." Their schedule is yet to be announced.
The Taste runs from June 29th through July 8th. More information on the schedule and the food vendors can be found at www.cityofchicago.org. Click on things to do and then click on festivals. On that page there is a banner of the Taste. Click on that and it will take you to the index.
