Taste of Wisconsin @ Kenosha Harbor

If you love the foodie mecca that is Kenosha, Wisconsin (I'm not lying), you can take the Metra UP North line to the city's harbor for the free Taste of Wisconsin, which runs Saturday (11am-10pm) and Sunday (11am-6pm) at Kenosha's harbor, 6th Avenue and 54th Street. Food, music, and the relief that you're nowhere near Taste of Chicago is on the bill. Afterward you should go to Tenuta's; you'll thank me later.
