Parade organizers said they stand by their decision to cancel the parade, which would have been held this past Sunday.

The Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce announced in April that the parade would be canceled. The group said the Mexican community in Chicago is worried about raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

While some Cinco de Mayo celebrations won't be happening this year, deals and freebies are still being offered across the Chicago area in honor of the day.
