On May 9, 2012 the City of Chicago passed a resolution honoring Pilsen Neighbors Community Council (PNCC) for Fiesta del Sol’s 40th anniversary. Starting off as a block party, Fiesta del Sol has evolved into the largest Latino festival in the Midwest, with an attendance of over 1.3 million people. The family oriented, alcohol free event, is organized by PNCC and over 200 community leaders and volunteers made up of 21 different committees.
