The Taste of Melrose Park is a major annual community and food festival held in Melrose Park, Illinois, and organized by the Village of Melrose Park. It is a long-standing local tradition.
The festival's main idea is special: families and Melrose Park residents prepare and sell their own specialties, including foods from a variety of cultural traditions. In addition to the food, the festival features free music and entertainment, family activities, and a variety of other booths. One distinctive feature of the event is that food portions are offered at very affordable prices.
This year, the Taste of Melrose Park is taking place this weekend, from September 4 to 6, 2026. The Scalabrinian Sisters, with support from the Guild Members, are participating in the event by offering sfingi, a traditional Sicilian fried pastry popular at Italian and Italian-American celebrations.
