When is Mexican Independence Day celebrated? Street closures are not planned but could be put in place if downtown celebrations get out of hand.People celebrating Mexican Independence Day could not have asked for better weather in Chicago on Friday.
At Benito Juarez, the party goes until 10 p.m., and at 9 p.m., everyone will gather for the traditional "Grito de Independencia," remembering the battle cry and call to arms that would eventually lead to Mexican independence. On Friday, in and around downtown the city has been staging water department trucks and snow plows in the event police need to implement street closures because of an influx of car caravans.
Illinois State Police and Chicago police are prepared to close downtown expressway entrances and restrict access to the area bordered by Division Street, DuSable Lake Shore Drive, 18th Street and Halsted.
