Taste of River North

The River North neighborhood will take center stage on the festival circuit the weekend of July 18 and 19 when it plays host to The Taste of River North.

Located in and around Erie Park, at Kingsbury and Erie, this debut fest aims to give weary art shoppers a taste of the best of everything the River North neighborhood has to offer in a beautiful riverfront green setting.

Hosted by the River North Residents’ Association, the emphasis is on all local cuisine.  Everything featured at The Taste of River North is selected based on its popularity in the surrounding ‘hood. 

As such, the area’s top restaurants will be setting up temporary shop along Erie Park, including: Ai Japanese, @Spot Café, Citizen, English, Excalibur, Fleming’s, Italiasia, La Madia, Motel Bar, Steve’s Deli, Sullivan’s and Zocalo.
