¡Viva la Causa! Learn about the fight for farm labor rights through a celebration of activist and labor leader, César Chávez. Enjoy music and dance, along with art, garden and culinary workshops. Food and beverages will be available for sale. ENTERTAINMENT
Carlos y Charlos
Carlos y Charlos are two Los Angeles County–born multi-instrumentalists—Juan Carlos Reynoso (bajo sexto) and Charles De Castro (diatonic accordion)—joined by their longtime friend and musical partner Patrick Morrison on bass. Their blend of traditional polkas, waltzes, and classic Norteño repertoire brings infectious energy to every performance, lighting up the room and getting audiences on their feet. Carlos y Charlos make the party happen while staying true to the old-style sound that keeps fans of Norteño and Mexican music coming back for more.
