The Chicano Park Steering Committee, Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center, Turning Wheel Project, and The San Diego Foundation collaborated together in effort to honor the community of Barrio/Logan Heights by bringing back events in Chicano Park throughout the summer of 2021. To end our summer events at Chicano Park on a lively note, we welcomed local musicians and artists to perform live music- Red Warriors, Kumeyaay Bird Singers, Professor Pepe Villarino, Elena Izcalli Medina, Mariachi Victoria de San Diego, Angel, DJ Rambo, Carnalismo, and Los Tios. In addition to performances at the Kiosko, we distributed 200 backpacks and school supplies to youth and families, had an art and history exhibit and a free food distribution. One of the highlights from the day was announcing our Chicano Park Scholarship recipients and celebrating our youth! Viva Chicano Park!
