Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Scenes from the 1988 Fiesta del Sol in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. The street festival was born out of community activism in 1973, and is a celebration of Hispanic heritage, culture and language. The reel ends with footage shot at what appears to be a high school; artists work on painting a multi-story mural while standing on many levels of scaffolding.
