The Taste of Chicago

The Taste of Chicago Festival takes place in Grand Park, which is a public space. Tents are used as boundaries, all around the festival. The festival is accessible to everyone. The culinary theme of the festival makes it to have a strong connection to the city. The festival reflects the culture of Chicago through food, language and culture. Over 82 different restaurants are admitted to the festival, music and a variety of drinks are served.It attracts local people, residents of the suburbs and people from other states as well. The financial profits go to the local restaurants admitted in the festival. The group of people negatively impacted are the residents of the city who travel around Grant Park because main streets like Jackson and Columbus are closed,and condensation of traffic is greater during the festival.
