March to celebrate Cesar Chavez memories
One of the largest marches commemorating the United Farm Workers founder Cesar Chavez, will be taking place on April 5 in Delano.
This celebration is going to kick off with Mass at 11 a.m. at Cesar Chavez Park, followed by a two-mile march around the city of Delano. The UFW
event will continue with entertainment at the 40 acres. The entertainment includes a lineup of bands such as La Nueva Rebelion, Los Buitres, Los Cachorros and Duelo, who are donating their time to be a part of this celebration as “the event is free” explains National Vice President of the United Farm Workers, Armando Elenes.
To keep this event free, the UFW needs more volunteers to help for this event and contributors as well.
Everyone is welcomed to this whole day celebration, insists Elenes as it is a “family oriented event.”
But this is not just a celebration as Elenes states. The march is also a push for immigration reform, which is why it is important for everyone to come out and participate.
