Discover the fun that awaits you at the 40th Annual Taste of Champaign-Urbana, the Champaign Park District’s premiere festival of the summer!

It IS Easy Being Green!
Please help us promote a healthy environment for all guests and our planet. We’ve made a conscious effort to be more “green” by using recycled paper for our tickets and materials, providing recycling bins throughout the park, and encouraging vendors to be green. Do your part by recycling, keeping our parks clean, and riding your bike to the event! As our thanks for riding your bike, you will receive a coupon for a free beverage at one of our Pepsi tents! A bike corral is located in the northwest corner of the park, so bring your lock. Please avoid riding bikes through the festival and refrain from smoking in the entertainment areas.
Thanks to you!
