This year’s festival will showcase performances from Aztec dance group Calpulli Tonalehqueh, folklórico dance from Los Lupeños de San José and Ensamble Folclórico Colibrí, a theatrical performance from Teatro Alebrijes, and music from Mariachi Juvenil Corazón Jalisciense and Banda Exclusiva de San Jose!
Attendees will also have an opportunity to participate in art workshops and stroll through the Plaza’s gallery to take in a visual arts exhibit put on in collaboration with Works / San José and Mosaic America. This is a community celebration of visual, performing, and culinary arts you won’t want to miss.
Mexican Independence Day is observed on September 16 and celebrates the liberation from Spanish rule. The celebration has transcended across borders with Mexicans who now reside in the United States and maintain love for their motherland and interest to conserve their historical and cultural ties.
