CHICAGO, ILL. -
Get those stretchy pants ready, honey, because Chicago’s favorite neighborhood is preparing to feed the masses. The Andersonville Chamber of Commerce is bringing back one of its hottest summer traditions: the annual Taste of Andersonville. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., because Clark Street is turning into an all-you-can-strut smorgasbord.
Whether you are looking for a light bite or planning to completely indulge, this year’s lineup offers three tailored routes designed to satisfy every craving. Foodies can strut up and down the Clark Street corridor while sampling small plates, decadent desserts, and refreshing beverages from over 20 local hot spots.

This year’s route options give you plenty of ways to play.
The Scarf & Snarf Route is perfect for those who like to graze through the neighborhood with stops at local staples like Bar Roma, Ándale Market, Lady Gregory's, Pizza Lobo, Minyoli, FIYA, Uvae Kitchen and Wine Bar, and Nothing Bundt Cakes. You will also catch Katherine Anne Confections at the Andersonville Farmers Market, ENJOY, An Urban General Store featuring The Dinner Belle, and more.
The Dine & Dash Route is designed for foodies on the move, featuring delicious stops including FOLK, Rivers and Roads, Violet Hawthorne, Vincent, Replay, Big Jones, Kopi Cafe, Forever Yogurt, Devil Dawgs, and Ranalli's of Andersonville.
The All You Can Eat Route is for the truly ambitious. This combo route gives you full access to both the Scarf & Snarf and Dine & Dash routes. Why choose when you can have it all?
Grab your tickets before the price jumps
Early birds catch the best deals, darling. Tickets are on sale now online through the Taste of Andersonville page. Early bird passes are $35 for single routes and $65 for the All You Can Eat combo pass. Don't sleep on it, though. Prices increase on Monday, August 4, to $40 for single routes and $70 for the combo route. Tickets will remain available through check-in on August 12, or until routes sell out.
Check-in kicks off at 3 p.m. outside the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce headquarters at 5344 N. Clark St. Pro tip: check in early and stroll through the Andersonville Farmers Market, which also opens at 3 p.m. at the 1500 block of W. Winona and the adjacent AT&T parking lot.
Rain or shine, the show will go on, and the neighborhood is keeping things eco-conscious thanks to waste management partner WasteNot Compost.
Dietary restrictions will not hold you back either. For a full list of menu offerings, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, head over to the official Taste of Andersonville event page. Extra restaurants and vendors may be added to the lineup before the big night, so keep your eyes peeled and your appetite ready.
