The free event is from noon to 4 p.m. and will feature Bailes Folklóricos which is traditional Mexican folk dancing, and performances from a mariachi band Zelaya, Mexican food truck, crafts and resources. 

In addition to celebrating Mexican culture, you can also shop from local artists and vendors that are a part of the Hispanic Cultural Hub.
