Avenue Q and “the Village” has celebrated Mexico’s independence from Spain every year since 1921. The annual fiesta has been important to our community since many Mexican contract workers were sent home or voluntarily went back to Mexico and fought in the war for Independence.

Every year, the committee works to bring food vendors offering authentic Mexican food, music and entertainment with traditional dancing from La Fiesta Dance Troupe, live music, a carnival and cold beverages to honor the century-long tradition.
