Little Village

Chicago has more Mexican-American residents than any other U.S. city outside the Sun Belt, and many of them reside in on the city's Southwest side, in the  Little Village and adjacent Pilsen neighborhoods. This community is home to more than 1,000 businesses, many of them located on Cermak Road and on 26th Street.  The annual Mexican Independence Day Parade in September is a major event.
