The Taste of Glen Ellyn

1. It is held in a public space, in one of two parking lots, the boundaries being the edge of the parking lot. It is free and accessible to everyone.

2. While it doesn't have a theme it contains food and goods from many locally owned shops. It attracts both people from town, and from out of town who want to experience the town culture.

3. The festival brings money to groups directly involved, as well as giving publicity to the shops at the festival.
