GOLETA, CA, September 16, 2024 – Happy Mexican Independence Day from the City of Goleta! We are so fortunate to have had a celebration right here in our community this past Saturday, September 14, 2024. Close to 1,000 people throughout the course of the seven-hour event attended a Mexican Independence Day block party held for the third year in Goleta but first time at the Goleta Community Center. The festive cultural event, organized by the Greater Santa Barbara Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the City of Goleta, brought not only locals to the celebration but residents from across Santa Barbara County.
From start to finish, the Festival was filled with live entertainment, delicious food, children’s activities, and Mexican traditions. To see for yourself how fun it was, check out this photo album with video clips here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/AwPVJM9KeEkNze7y8 .
