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.
