Discover hosted the second annual Taste of Bud Billiken at the Shine Bright Community Center, near 85th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue.
"This was a big hit last year," said April Williams-Luster, senior manager of community affairs at the Discover Chatham Customer Care Center. "We brought all different teams and bands to come perform, and we brought out vendors who are also going to be walking in the Bud Billiken."
