Celebrate Chicago Counters with a $10 Taste of Chicago Fee

When Celebrate Chicago wanted to charge a $20 entrance fee to attend Taste of Chicago, most people balked at such a high cost for a formally free festival. We thought that was the end of it, especially after Mayor Daley claimed that Taste would “always be free.” But the Sun Times quoted a “source close to the negotiations,” who said, “No private company is gonna do it for free. It’s impossible.” So the company returned with a bid to charge a $10 admission fee. That sounds slightly better to us, but what do you think? Would you pay any money to attend the festival?
