About the event:

With its eclectic mix of trendy stores, charming boutiques, and delectable restaurants, the Southport Corridor is one of Chicago’s most sought-after destinations. This August, it gets even hotter as tacos take center stage at the 12th Annual Lakeview Taco Fest, a celebration of flavor, fun, and community. Prepare your taste buds for a two-day fiesta that pays tribute to everyone’s favorite tortilla-wrapped delight. Whether you’re a fan of traditional fillings like chicken, steak, chorizo, and beef or crave innovative creations, this festival has it all! Over 10 of Chicago’s finest eateries will compete to craft the city’s most mouthwatering tacos.

Highlights of the Fest:
- Beer & Taco Pairings: Enjoy seasonal brews that perfectly complement the festival’s flavorful offerings.
- Live Entertainment: Two music stages featuring talented artists and performers will keep the energy alive.
- Lucha Libre Action: Don’t miss the thrilling spectacle of Mexican wrestling—always a crowd favorite!
- Family Fun: Activities for kids ensure fun for the whole family.
- Best Taco Competition: Cast your vote via text and help crown Chicago’s “Best Taco.”

This vibrant celebration is more than just a food festival—it’s a seasonal tradition and a beloved fixture of the Windy City’s culinary scene. Plus, your $10 suggested donation supports the Friends of Lakeview, giving back to the community while you indulge in the fun. Mark your calendar and join us in the Southport Corridor for a taco-filled weekend you won’t want to miss!
