Grant Park Closures Raise Questions About Access, Priorities

Clip: 3/14/2023 | 8m 31sVideo has Closed Captions

Taste of Chicago will now likely be moved to a weekend in September.

There will only be free access to all or part of Grant Park for four days out of 87 this summer. That's because the park will be closed for multiple events — including the first-ever NASCAR street race and Lollapalooza, plus all of the setup and teardown time.
