Taste Of Melrose Park

Friendly, clean, orderly. All good is homemade and reasonably priced. Eat there or they have food containers to bring food home.

My understanding is that this is the second largest “Taste” in the Chicagoland area after The Taste of Chicago. I attend every year and with one good reason, Excellent! Melrose Park has a very diverse ethnic population with both Italians and Hispanics playing major roles. It’s also well known for its culinary diversity, most of which is truly authentic due to the large number of family-owned establishments. These are old-world original recipes prepared with the pride that only accompanies the definition of “family-owned”. So take a break from the large nationwide corporate franchises and re-experience a Taste of Home. There’s something here for everyone, including the most experienced consumer with the most discerning taste buds. Combine all that with its Carnival, LIVE Music and Free admission and parking, and you have a Winner on All Levels. I highly recommend it as well as the “Experience”. 5 Stars without a doubt! Enjoy!

Good eats for $3, variety and large portions, good music and decent drinks. Only downer is some of these vendors dont offer napkins or utensils. Word of advice, pack your own! But honestly one of my fave fests.
