In all, at least part of the 300-acre Grant Park will be closed to Chicagoans for 83 days this summer, including every day except June 2, June 3, June 4 and July 16, according to a schedule released by the Chicago Park District.
With concerts and a NASCAR race set to close at least some of Grant Park nearly every day between May 18 and Aug. 13, the fate of Chicago’s beloved summer festivals, including the Taste of Chicago, are hanging in the balance.
Instead, officials with the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, known as DCASE, asked the City Council’s Special Events committee on Tuesday to approve a plan to move the Taste to the park in front of Navy Pier on July 1 and July 2 as part of the routine ordinance green lighting special events in Chicago.
Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson will face off on April 4 in the runoff to replace ousted Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
