In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Evanston Pride hosted “Una Fiesta Hispana” in Evanston’s Fountain Square. The celebration agenda consisted of music, a market made up entirely of LGBTQ+ and Latinx vendors, performances by flamenco dancers, a piñata and raffle as well as a performance by Chicago’s first all-female mariachi group, Mariachi Sirenas.
