CHICAGO -- Chicago's major city-sponsored spring/summer festivals and cultural programming are returning as in-person events and in pre-pandemic size and scope.

"Chicago's spring and summertime programming is cherished by our residents and bolsters our tourism, hospitality and creative industries," the mayor said in the announcement."I am thrilled that we can bring back our iconic music and food festivals, as well as hundreds of other events. This will help to bring a sense of normalcy back to our city and revitalize the local economies of our neighborhoods.
Among the highlights of the in-person events are a two-day Chicago Air and Water Show; a full-on Maxwell Street Market; and Taste of Chicago featuring food and music events in three Chicago neighborhoods in June and a"mini" Grant Park version spanning three days in July with nearly 40 eateries and food trucks expected to participate and three mainstage concerts.
