The Fiesta Mexicana festival is a celebration of three great holidays in Chicago’s culturally rich neighborhoods: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrates the lives of those who have passed, Feliz Navidad celebrates the Christmas holidays, and our own Fiesta Mexicana celebrates Mexican culture through food, music and dance. Give your students an opportunity to experience the Latin culture through a short excursion packed with tons of excitement, history and cultural traditions.
Explore many stores and shops of Little Village where the majority of the clerks and patrons speak Spanish. Enjoy Pilsen which is home to a number of unique shopping experiences as well as authentic Mexican dining and events
Two of the nation’s most picturesque parks, Millennium and Grant Park are a perfect afternoon excursion for your group. Explore the famous Cloud Gate sculpture affectionately known as “The Bean” and enjoy a performance at the artfully created Pritzker Pavillion.

It’s famous counterpart, The Field Museum, has extraordinary exhibits on wildlife, Native American cultures, Africa, the Pacific Coastline, gemstones, and dinosaurs, including "Sue," the largest T-Rex skeleton ever found.
Enjoy an afternoon with a walk along Chicago’s famous Navy Pier. Ride the famous Ferris Wheel and tour the businesses and museums along this famous tourist spot.
