Mexican Independence Day takes place on Friday, and area residents are expected to celebrate the occasion in style in coming days, with city officials expecting heavier-than-usual traffic on Chicago streets.
The holiday, which falls on Friday, celebrates Mexico’s declaration of independence from Spain in 1810, and is often marked with a wide variety of celebrations, including fireworks and flag-waving cars driving through the city.
Caravans and impromptu parades have been reported in several locations, including along Michigan Avenue and DuSable Lake Shore Drive, but city officials have not officially announced any street closures due to the celebrations.
