Over the last few months, Galeno said she’s called for several meetings with the organizers, the Harrison Park supervisor, Tony Gonzalez, the advisory board and the office of Ald.

Galeno, who runs a not-for-profit that promotes green spaces in the city and helps the growth of pollinators in Pilsen, became concerned about the festivals last year, when she realized that several activities had to be rescheduled, that her neighbors could not find parking spaces and the streets were left full of garbage afterward. Since its inception in 2018, the founders have donated to several local programs, including Pilsen Athletic Little League summer programs.
Musicians Prince Royce, Natti Natasha, Gerado Ortiz and Alex Lora Y El Tri are headlining the festival.

General admission tickets for Michelada Fest are $89 each day, plus taxes and fees. “This is still the community’s festival,” Nieto said.

As ticket prices have increased to match production costs, the number of free tickets to area residents have also increased, they said. They say that they began the festivals to highlight and celebrate their culture, and to invest in the neighborhood and its people. Nieto and Torres, who also run My House Music festival at Harrison Park in August, were both born and raised in Pilsen. “We acknowledge their concerns and have tried to address them the best way that we can in several meetings.” “It was not a way to ignore their concerns,” he said on a phone call with Tribune. Miguel Torres, one of the co-founders of the festival, said that the giveaway shows their appreciation for residents of the area and to ensure they feel welcome at the festival that was created for and by Latinos. “Still, we made sure that access to the park was still available.” In previous years, the setup began a day before the festival, said Fernando Nieto, a founder of the event.
But even though it was gated, the doors to enter the park, including the softball field, basketball court, playground and field house were still open to the public, said Michele Lemons, a spokesperson for the Park District. “The private use of public green spaces - which we pay for and maintain with our hard-earned tax dollars - to enrich private businesses is the ultimate slap in the face to us working families in Pilsen and elsewhere,” Galeno wrote in the June 21 letter to the supervisor of the park Tony Gonzales and the park’s advisory board.Īccording to organizers, the fence around the park had to be erected days in advance to ensure proper and safe production for the event where they expect at least 5,000 attendees a day. Though the park has not been closed, the gates prevented normal activities from taking place, said Claudia Galeno, coordinator of Women For Green Spaces who lives close to the park.
