The parade begins at 10 a.m. at Cesar Chavez Avenue at Mednik Avenue and continued west along Cesar Chavez Avenue to Gage Avenue. It starts the Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.
The parade’s theme is “Encounter of Two Worlds,” in celebration of the International Year of Indigenous Languages, proclaimed by the United Nations to raise awareness of and benefit people who speak Indigenous Languages and for others to appreciate the contribution they make to the world’s cultural diversity.
