Fiesta del Sol is the biggest free Latino festival in the country and one of Pilsen's proudest traditions, drawing over a million people each summer.

  • Four days celebrating Pilsen's Mexican-American heritage

Good to know: Cermak Rd, Pilsen. Free admission; food and rides are pay-as-you-go. One of the great free events of the Chicago summer.
