Taste of Oak Brook
A celebration of food, community, and entertainment
Every July 3rd, up to 40,000 individuals go to the Oak Brook Sports Core to enjoy Chicagoland’s best food, fun and fireworks at the annual Taste of Oak Brook. This spirited celebration of food, community and entertainment brings together local restaurants, food vendors and live music for an evening of delicious bites and great company.
A variety of local restaurants will be on hand selling “taste” portions of old and new favorites for patrons. An enlarged Alter Brewing Beer Garden returns with tasty ales to quench your thirst, and other adult beverages will be available at dedicated bars located throughout the event.
Children attending will enjoy free face painting, balloon animal makers and inflatable fun. Fearless, a Taylor Swift tribute band, will kick off the evening’s music followed by the highly popular returning headliner Sixteen Candles.
When dusk arrives, attendees will be treated to a stunning drone show that lights up the night sky! This cutting-edge entertainment blends technology and artistry and will feature twice as many drones as 2024, with 300 synchronized drones creating a mesmerizing display. The entertainment will be capped off by a vibrant 22+ minute fireworks show.
Taste Committee Chairman Trustee Michael Manzo shared “Last year more than 30,000 visitors attended the Taste of Oak Brook. We are one of Chicagoland’s most anticipated events of the summer. Visitors really enjoy sampling the great food from area restaurants, live music from our popular headline bands and our exciting show in the sky. The highly popular drone and fireworks show is returning. It’s the perfect way to celebrate freedom and community in Oak Brook.”
