The nonprofit Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) is proud to announce the lineup of spring events within the State-Designated Mexican Cultural District, Camino Clark, to celebrate the unique cultural identity of Clark Street in Rogers Park and encourage economic development. The spring events include a Día del Niño (Children’s Day) Celebration on April 30, a Cinco de Mayo Celebration on May 5, and a Mother’s Day Mercadito craft fair on May 10. More information about the cultural district and events is available at RPBA.org. The Camino Clark area, which spans approximately two miles from Howard Street to Devon Avenue, was one of ten communities selected for the State-Designated Cultural Districts program and the only one on Chicago’s North Side. Additionally, Colectivo Clark, a collective of local Latine business owners within the Camino Clark area, was formed to organize events and promotional campaigns to celebrate the District and empower small business owners.
