Here’s a look at the lineup.
Italian Beef Fest July 31–August 2
Italian Beef Fest will take over Jefferson Memorial Park from Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2.
The weekend-long celebration will feature vendor selections from some of Chicago’s favorite Italian Beef shops including Byron’s Hot Dogs, Bust Outs, and Frannie’s Beef.
