Mexico's national holiday will be celebrated with a Mariachi band and a community meal that includes 400 boxed lunches of chili Verde, chicken Michoacán, rice, beans, tortillas, and guacamole to be served.
Mexicans around the globe will celebrate the anniversary of the country’s independence from Spain on Wednesday and Viva Zapata wants The Salvation Army’s guests to experience popular Mexican dishes and the festive sounds of live Mariachis.
The event will be held from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 35 W. Owens Avenue.
