Best Taste of Joliet Food Lineup Ever? 23 Stadium Vendors Revealed

JOLIET — Nobody provides more live and in-depth coverage of the Taste of Joliet than the Joliet Patch, and that was evident last year with three consecutive days of Facebook Live concert videos and three straight days of photo galleries. But 2023 is gone. It's history. It's over. The great news is that in only three days, Taste of Joliet 2024 will be here.

Thousands and thousands of people, young, middle-aged and seniors will enter the gates of Memorial Stadium at 3000 W. Jefferson St. to see the City of Champions at its finest hour.

Joliet Patch already reported on the three main headliners for Taste of Joliet — Friday night, it's Goo Goo Dolls, Saturday night, Lady A, and Sunday evening, Huracanes Del Norte.

Last June's three-day Taste of Joliet festival at Memorial Stadium drew the largest attendance ever, bringing more than 55,000 people out.

Now, Joliet Park District director Brad Staab is hopeful that Taste of Joliet 2024 will draw an even more enormous crowd this weekend.

What does everyone love best about Taste of Joliet? That's right. It's the F-O-O-D.

The Food.

The Joliet Park District has unveiled its entire Taste of Joliet food vendor lineup and Joliet Patch has published all the details below, along with the schedule of all the weekend entertainment acts.
