Friday was the first day of August, and Chicagoans know it's only a few weeks before summer is over. Some took advantage of the day at Fiesta del Sol.
Preparations started months ago, and Thursday Fiesta Del Sol kicked off in Pilsen.
Pilsen Neighbors Community Council (PNCC) announces its 49th Annual Fiesta del Sol festival, which this year is back as a full in-person event.
Now dubbed Fiesta del Sol En Casa, organizers promise workshops, health education, music and food that vendors can deliver to your home.
Pilsen's Fiesta Del Sol was canceled because of COVID-19 this year, but organizers have found a way for you to celebrate the summertime tradition from your home.
The 47th annual Fiesta del Sol includes an emphasis on preparing Chicago's Latino community for the upcoming census amid fears about the threat of deportations.
