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
