Eli’s Birthday @ Taste
July 11 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join us by Buckingham Fountain to celebrate Eli’s and Taste of Chicago’s 46th birthdays with a slice of our GIANT 1,000 lb. cheesecake! Help us sing Happy Birthday, then enjoy a FREE slice of cheesecake (one per person, while supplies last).
From 11 AM-Noon, enjoy the Happiness Club performing original cheesecake songs and raps, The Jesse White Tumblers and The Shannon Rovers Pipe Band.
At Noon, the cake will be lifted off the truck by forklift, and parade around Grant Park, led by the Shannon Rover bagpipers. After a round of singing “Happy Birthday,” the giant cheesecake will be served free to the public and features Eli’s 46th Birthday flavor, Cookie Dough, along with layers of Original Plain and Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes.
