Start your Hispanic Heritage Month celebration a few days early!

According to the calendar, the official summer season is over. However, we’ve still got a few weeks of lovely, summer-like weather around these parts. What better way to soak up those last few rays of sun than by attending the Mexican Independence Fiesta at Penn’s Landing Great Plaza!

This Sunday, September 12th, 2010 celebrate Mexico’s bicenntenial. There’ll be music, food, dancing and more, so everyone is sure to have a good time. Whether you’re into arts and crafts, Mexican rock or traditional dances, your Sunday afternoon is bound to enjoyable. Be sure to bring the kids along because they’ll be able to participate in face painting, balloons, and giveaways.

Did we mention the festival is free?

The Mexican Independence Festival is the second-to-last of the eleven PECO Multicultural Series festivals. Stay tuned next weekend for the Russian Mosaic Heritage Festival. Until then, remember to continue celebrating your heritage in Philly.
