festival
● The event was constructed in 1968 by Lyndon
johnson to appreciate the mexican culture for
the whole month of sept and october. With
Showing famous mexican celebrities and
mexican/chicano who struggled and did
something to change how they live.
● The festival had Dancers dancing in their
dresses. And they had marach playing
Mexican Songs like “cumpleanos” also
everyone was very active especially the
dancers doing movements with their dances.
● The performances showed a lot of emphasis
like showing how people were proud of their
race with celebrating with food, dance, and

8. Interpretation of
the festival
● The festival made me feel to want to
embrace my mexican cultural. I was also
very excited to eat all the mexican food.
● The festival was very fun watching the
mariachi sing their music and also to see
the dancers
● The clothes that the people were wearing
reminding me of several movies like
“Encanto” Because some of the
characters were wearing similar clothes
and also with “Nacho Libre” were the
scene where Nacho was at the party
singing with the mariachis.
● The events that i was in really relates to
me in learning my studies because i want
to learn more about my culture and to be
informed about what my culture has been
through to get to what they are right now.

16. Evaluation of the
festival
● The event that was presented to me felt
like a success the messages that they tried
to bring out really spoke to me. What really
got me to thought the whole event was a
success was the music and the dancing.
Because it really got my attention. Also the
music that was played i really liked .
● I would compare it to “La Grito“ by both
having those kind of music and dancers.
● The criteria that help me judge this event
was all the music, food performances, and
decorations.
● I thought this work was original because it
felt like no other place has done it like how
this place has done it.
● Hopefully next year i can go again to one of
these events again.
