India Arie will perform on the festival's final day
•
The Taste of Chicago brings some of the area’s finest eateries together for an outdoor extravaganza, and the festival is also going to bring in an eclectic mix of musicians for the annual event.
On Thursday, it was announced that Courtney Barnett will take the stage on the festival’s opening day in Grant Park on July 10. The Grammy Award-nominee has won numerous awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association, and she appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in 2016.
The following day will bring Bomba Estereo and Cultura Profética to the Petrillo Music Shell. Bomba Estereo is a Colombian band that formed in 2005, and their most recent album “Ayo” featured tracks that emboded “cumbia” music, a Colombian style of music that combines folk elements and dance.
