Fiesta Back of the Yards
Ashland Ave. between 45th and 47th St., Chicago, IL
Fiesta Back of the Yards is a three-day neighborhood festival on Ashland Avenue run by the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council, tracing its roots to the council's 1940s-era Free Fair and marking its 35th anniversary under its current name in 2026. Carnival rides, mariachi, cumbia and folklorico performances, and food and artisan vendors fill the closed street each June, with proceeds supporting BYNC's community programs.
