It’s that time of year again when River North completely shuts down, but for a great reason— the ultimate foodie festival is back!
The Taste of River North returns this weekend, offering Chicagoans the chance to sample the best that trendy River North has to offer. Presented by the River North Residents Association (RNRA) and the East Bank Club, visitors can enjoy two days filled with delicious food from local restaurants, live bands, DJs, artists, and local merchants, along with a family fun area.
Many popular local restaurants will be serving their popular offerings, including Fogo de Chão, Avli, Lure Fishbar, Mercadito, Moe’s Cantina, Seoul Taco, Masala Pizza, and Ambar.
The event will take place on Wells Street (627 N. Wells), between Ontario and Chicago Avenue, on Friday, July 17, from 5 to 10 PM, and on Saturday, July 18, from 11 AM to 10 PM.
