Children will also have the opportunity to make traditional Mexican arts and crafts. Spanish translation, and an ASL sign language interpreter will be available. Light refreshments will be served.

This event is made possible by the City of San Leandro and donations from several local businesses and individuals, including: The Optimist Club of San Leandro, Ballet de Carlos Moreno, Mariachi Mexicanisimo, Los Pericos, and Guadalajara Bakery.
