Food for Thought: Taste of Lemont fills the downtown Metra lot with live music and roughly two dozen local food and beverage vendors on Saturday, Sept 12, 2026, from 5 to 11 p.m., benefiting the Lemont High School Educational Foundation.
Taste of Lemont turns the downtown Metra parking lot into a lively outdoor food and music festival on Saturday, Sept 12, 2026, from 5 to 11 p.m. It brings together roughly two dozen local food and beverage vendors, live music, and a big communal table atmosphere right in the heart of Lemont's historic downtown. The event is a fundraiser for the Lemont High School Educational Foundation, so every bite supports local students. Admission runs $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and it is free for ages 14 and under and Lemont High School students. Pair it with a walk through downtown Lemont's shops, or catch the falconry demonstration at The Forge earlier in the day for a full Lemont Saturday. It is an easy, close-to-home way to spend a late-summer evening.
