Entertainment included Mariachis, folklorists' dancers, the show of 'Bely y Beto', and much more which had the crowd applauding through out the afternoon and night. This is a celebration where Mexican Immigrants can remember their traditions and have present their nationality and all of the good things that come with being a 'mexicano,' said one attendee.

A proud sponsor of the event, Pizza Patrón was very active in the festivities. Branded vehicles, a 20' inflatable icon, branded tents, banners and signs were on display to promote brand awareness. The Patrón tent and prize wheel were a popular attraction throughout the evening giving visitors the opportunity to win free pizzas, branded t-shirts and caps.

Pizza Patrón also offered hot, fresh pizza to visitors and dignitaries and quickly became a crowd favorite. "We are proud to be a part of meaningful community events like this," said Ernesto Hernandez, director of operations for Pizza Patrón Inc., "and we appreciate the loyalty our customers have shown us over the years and we want them to know that we are dedicated to them as well."
