The largest Latino festival of its kind in the country is underway right here in Chicago.
Organizers say the four-day festival draws more than 1.5 million visitors and has become a major economic engine for local businesses."We always have amazing food. We have enchiladas, pambazos, tacos, a little bit of everything. This year we have two stages, we have our main stage and also a stage at Dvorak Park," said Blanca Acevedo, FDS co-chair.
The festival also features carnival rides, family-friendly art activities, free immigration consultations, a college fair and more.
