Our “Taste” is known as the premier event in Park
Ridge. Located in the charming Uptown area, we
attract many people from surrounding municipalities
because we provide a wholesome All-American
festival that entertains families. We offer an
impressive variety of food served by two dozen
vendors as well as family activities, a Business Expo
and continuous live entertainment. The Taste offers
a great opportunity for employee appreciation.
Please join us and don’t forget that a great time is
even better when it is shared with loved ones.
