Fiesta Del Sol underway in Pilsen

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Fiesta Del Sol, the largest Latino festival in the Midwest, got underway Thursday in the Pilsen neighborhood.

There's lots of food, live entertainment, art and a children's area. The Pilsen Neighbors Community Council puts on the festival. It started off as a block party in 1972 and has just gotten bigger and bigger. The festival runs through Sunday.

ABC7 is a sponsor and will have a booth there on Saturday. You can stop by and chat with several of our reporters.
