Revelers took over 23rd Street Friday night, waving flags, playing music, and dancing in the street on the first day of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Guatemala are celebrating Independence Day today, while Saturday marks Mexico’s Independence Day.
Cars and trucks flying flags drove around the North and East while police blocked traffic at several intersections.
