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.
