Celebrating in Humboldt Park
Humboldt Park is the cultural heart of Chicago's Puerto Rican community. Paseo Boricua, the stretch of Division Street marked by two huge steel Puerto Rican flags, is lined with restaurants, murals and cultural centers, and the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture sits in the park's historic stables building. Family celebrations here, from quinceañeras and baptisms to weddings, are big, music-filled and often held across multiple spaces.
The park itself is one of the city's most beautiful, with a lagoon, a boathouse designed in the Prairie style, formal gardens and wide lawns. It's managed by the Chicago Park District, so permits and rental rules apply for events. The 606 trail on Bloomingdale Avenue is a short trip from the park.
Scenic spots for photos and picnics, with Chicago Park District permit and equipment rules to follow.
