Things to do around Chicago: Mexico Fest, Luke Combs, Doc10 Film Festival and the incomparable Diana Ross

Diana Ross: Few singers deserve the label “icon” more than Diana Ross. First signed to Detroit’s Motown Records as a teenager, Ross’s early years with The Supremes were record-breaking — The Supremes remains the top-charting female group ever with 12 No. 1 hits. Ross’ solo career began in 1970 with a self-titled album including the songs “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” She’s been recording and touring ever since, more or less, including to the Hard Rock Casino this Friday. 7 p.m. May 5 at Hard Rock Live, 5400 W. 29th Ave., Gary; tickets from $100 (ages 21+) at www.ticketmaster.com

APIDA Arts Festival: May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and what better way to celebrate than a free festival featuring a variety of artists and performers? The three-day event takes place at three different Chicago ventures: the Cultural Center, the Goodman Theatre and the Museum of Contemporary Art. It all ends Sunday night with a festival after-party at Lookingglass Theatre with music, food and drinks. May 5-7 at various venues, free (after-party is $25-$45), more information at apidaarts.org
