La Misa Del Pueblo

For nearly 15 years, Misa del Pueblo has become a cherished tradition at Fiesta del Sol — the only citywide festival that on Sunday celebrates both our faith and culture. Blessed by Cardinal Francis George for bringing the Eucharist beyond the walls of the church, this gathering of hope has grown into a family tradition, uniting our community in prayer, reflection, and solidarity. Each year, the main stage is transformed into a sacred altar where we come together to honor our faith and strengthen the bonds of the Pilsen community.

Keeping Healthy Expo

Sponsored by
Keeping Healthy Campaign is sponsored by Alivio Medical Center, as every year we will be providing information about chronic and communicable diseases, health care programs and resources available in the community.

Free preventing health screenings (glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index and HIV) will also be provided to attendees 18+.

Health screenings are important to reduce medical expenses, avoid ER visits, detect and prevent diseases in early stages. Alivio’s bilingual, bicultural staff serve all patients.

The Fiesta del Sol Schools Expo celebrates Pilsen’s legacy of resistance and community empowerment, rooted in the community battles led by PNCC and student activists.

Join us in honoring our history, while defending our right to futures built on justice, culture, and collective strength.
