Thanks to everyone who made the Fiestas Patrias a day to remember.

The Sophienburg and Westside Community Center worked together to create an exhibit from local historical archives featuring Diez y Séis parades and celebrations from the 1900s to the 1970s. In addition to the exhibit, there will be music, mariachis, Baile folklórico, crafts, food, snow cones, and more!
