On September 14 to 15, 2015, the City sponsored the 41st Annual Fiestas Patrias, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and Latin culture in the city. Thousands attended the free event and enjoyed two full days of top-level entertainment, delicious food, carnival rides and games, art and culture exhibits, and a variety of vendor booths. On Sunday, a parade for Fiestas Patrias (see image) made its way through the Downtown.
