Tacoville, a traveling taco-and-music festival, is set to take over Naperville’s Naper Settlement for a three-day run of street-style tacos, live Latin music and open-air bars. Organizers are billing the event as a family-friendly bash by day that shifts into more of a concert vibe after dark, with DJs, tribute sets and a market of local makers spread across the museum’s lawns.
When and where
Tacoville is scheduled for June 5–7, 2026, with hours listed as Friday from 5 to 10 p.m., Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m., according to the festival’s website. The event will use the open lawn space at Naper Settlement, and the festival page directs visitors to its ticketing link for single-day and weekend passes. Organizers advise checking the festival site before heading out for the latest on vendor lineups and hours.
What to expect
Organizers are lining up more than 20 food vendors and food trucks serving tacos, churros, elotes, quesadillas and loaded nachos, while two stages will host live bands and DJs. Outdoor bars will be pouring beer, margaritas, micheladas and seltzers, and a market of local merchants will set up on the grounds, according to the event listing on Naper Settlement. The mix is designed to stay family-friendly during the daytime and feel more like a full-on concert in the evenings.
Who’s behind the fest
Tacoville is produced by Chicago promoter Green Curtain Events, the team behind neighborhood food festivals such as the Tacos y Tamales festival in Pilsen. The company says it pulls together vendor lineups from across Chicagoland and stages pop-ups that blend food, art and live music.
Family-friendly weekend
The festival is planning kid-focused elements and on-site family activities, and Naper Settlement’s playscape and splash pad will be open throughout the weekend, with children under 10 admitted free. As reported by the Chicago Tribune, the weekend will also feature face painting, rides and artisan stalls selling clothing and jewelry. Organizers say the daytime schedule is meant to stay accessible for families, while the evening sets lean more toward a concert atmosphere.
Tickets and what to know
Organizers told the Chicago Tribune they are aiming to draw roughly 12,000 attendees over the weekend, and the paper reports that tickets are priced at $10 per day or $20 for a weekend pass. “I moved to Naperville four years ago,” director Nick Pobutsky told the paper, explaining that he wanted to bring the street-food concept to the suburbs.
