CHICAGO (CBS) – On Wednesday, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center launched its first-ever Puerto Rican Christmas Market.

It's a free event that offers live traditional music, photo opportunities, a Christmas tree lighting and ornament making.

It's all an effort to boost business along Paseo Boricua, or Division Street, just east of Humboldt Park.

The market is open every weekend at Mercado del Pueblo from now until Jan. 6.
