Our picks for events in and around Chicago this weekend.
Mexican Independence Day Parade
Never been a better time to cheer for the Mexican Independence Day Parade. Head to Little Village to demonstrate your support and pride in our local community. Attendance at last weekend’s Pilsen parade was noticeably lower amid immigration crackdowns. All the more reason to show up for your neighbors.
Noon on Sept. 15 on 26th Street from the Little Village Arch at Albany Avenue to Kostner Avenue; details at littlevillagechamber.org
Lady Gaga
Is it possible that Lady Gaga’s latest album, “Mayhem,” has only been out six months? The fact that her latest hits — from ”Abracadabra” to “Zombieboy” — feel like time-tested pop standards says it all. You’ve got three nights to see this icon live.
