The iconic Taste of Chicago festival finally returns to the city this weekend, months after its typical scheduled timeslot.

The long held festival takes place Friday, Sept. 6 through Sunday, Sept. 8 in Grant Park, according to officials. While the festival is usually held in June, timing for 2024 — and 2023 — was shifted due to big summer events in the city, including the NASCAR Chicago Street Race.

More than 40 food vendors and more than a dozen food trucks will line the three-day festival, which will also feature free performances by big names, including CeeLo Green, known for his 2010 hit “Forget You.”

Here’s a full list of performers and food vendors expected to take part in the event.
