Taste of Chicago Highlights - Day 4

Today's Taste has family friendly written all over it. There are so many activities you can have the kids worn out for the rest of the week, or at least until tomorrow night.

Cooking Corner

Start and end today's cooking demonstrations with sustainable chefs. Melissa Graham is from Monogramme Events, a catering company that specializes in sustainable cuisine. The last demo of the day is with Cleetus Friedman of City Provisions. They host supper clubs featuring local providers (TLT Members get $10 off!). Chutney Joe's and the Palmer House also strut their stuff.

Family Village & Fun Time Stage

Holy cow there's a lot going on. Stilt walking, a robot contest, a teddy bear clinic, modern art, a block party, bingo, and tons 'o crafts, and those are just in the Village. The Stage has comedy, game shows, poetry, and stepping, to name a few. It's a good day to be a kid.

Taste Sports! Pavilion

The stilt walkers aren't the only people that'll cause you to crane your neck. The Chicago Bulls are stopping (should I say stooping?) by at noon, in between the Bally's workout and meeting Olympians and Paralympians. Athletes, coaches and mascots from the University of Illinois Chicago make appearances and hold clinics and contests throughout the afternoon.

The Music

Break out the bongos - it's World Music Day at the taste. Immerse yourself in Latin, Reggae, African and other music from around the globe. Then enjoy a uniquely American genre, the Broadway musical.
