Organizers of Chicago festivals, events go all out to keep people safe
CHICAGO -- Organizers of festivals in every part of Chicago are making efforts to keep everyone safe this summer. The Puerto Rican Festival, or Fiestas Patronales Puertorriqueñas, began Thursday under way in the park of Humboldt Park . Music boomed within the festival grounds in the park, but getting in to see it required waiting in a security line. Organizers prioritized safety—with a fence around the perimeter and bag checks at the entrance.
