If you’re looking for something exciting to do on Father’s Day, look no further than Chicago’s very own Taste of Randolph Street festival. With food from nearly 15 different restaurants, live music all day long, and a prime location like the West Loop, your dad (and your whole family) will have a blast at this event. There’s even the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets for all three days of the event, or just one day, which allows access to discounted beer, lounge seating, and reserved viewing stands to listen to music. And the best part – Phil Stefani restaurant Mad Social will be there all weekend serving up the best chicken & waffles your dad has ever had.
