Tacos, Sake, and Street Energy: Roscoe Village Is Ready for Its Most Delicious Week of the Year
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village ·
If your summer needed one more reason to get outside, Roscoe Village is delivering — deliciously. The Lakeview Taco Fest is just nine days away, running August 21–23 along the Lakeview corridor, and the buzz in the neighborhood is already building. The annual fest has become one of the North Side's most anticipated late-summer traditions, drawing crowds from across Chicago for a weekend of tacos, live music, and the kind of block-party energy that defines Roscoe Village at its best.
And if you're looking for a new spot to fuel up before — or after — the fest, the neighborhood has a fresh reason to explore. The Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed Konbini and Kanpai to 1433 W. Belmont, a Japanese-inspired liquor boutique where craft beers, wines, sakes, and non-alcoholic beverages can be enjoyed on-site or taken to go. It's a genuinely unique addition to the neighborhood's ever-evolving lineup of local businesses, and exactly the kind of neighborhood-first shop that makes the Village such a vibrant place to live and explore.
With Lakeview Taco Fest on the horizon and exciting new businesses planting roots on familiar streets, Roscoe Village's end-of-summer stretch is stacking up beautifully. Don't miss the next Roscoe Village Neighbors community meeting on Wednesday, August 19 at 6:30 p.m. — just two days before the tacos start flowing.
