Last year, some celebrations got out of hand, especially downtown.
Those in the city are likely to see many Mexican flags being flown this weekend. While the city said it welcomes the celebration of culture, officials are taking steps to make sure the demonstrations are carried out safely and respectfully, and they're asking people to do the same.
While some are getting their celebratory gear ahead of the festivities, the City of Chicago is sending a message to those planning on taking to the streets to celebrate. In a since-deleted social media post, Mayor Brandon Johnson's office said,"Caravans that create a threat to public safety will not be tolerated," and"anyone in violation of city ordinances will be held accountable." Meanwhile, the Office of Emergency Management said it will activate its emergency operations center to monitor events around the city this weekend.
