Kick off the Chandler Contigo celebration at the Downtown Library! Enjoy Mariachi Nueva Fusion, crafts and face painting for kids, and a special poetry presentation from award-winning author Alberto Ríos, who is Arizona’s poet laureate. Meet local Lucha Libre masked wrestlers and learn some moves from noon - 2 p.m. Experience different forms of Latin dance including Chilenos Sin Fronteras and Los Waukis Andinos.
The Chandler Museum will have a booth where the public can step into Chandler's rich Hispanic and Latino heritage by exploring historic photos from the museum’s collection and helping to identify members of the community who are pictured. Connect with Chandler’s past and help bring history to life.
In addition, the atmosphere outside the library at Dr. A.J. Chandler Park Stage Plaza, will be lively with food trucks, vendors selling traditional Mexican artifacts and a DJ playing music.
