Pilsen is an authentic and vibrant neighborhood on Chicago’s Lower West Side rich in Latino culture. It’s home to legendary music venues and award-winning restaurants and bars. Located only a few short minutes from the city center via public transportation, this working-class neighborhood is also steeped in a rich history of art and architecture and is the proud home to a community that is fiercely proud of where it comes from. The Tacos y Tamales Festival aims to give back to the community of our gracious hosts; as a portion of the proceeds will benefit Pilsen community groups as well as preservation projects inhabiting Pilsen’s everyday lifestyle.
