On Sept. 16, 1821, Mexico won independence from Spain, making Tucson part of the newly founded country. Celebrate the culture and history of Mexico with ballet folklorico and mariachi performances and a special lecture on how Tucson’s perceived identity changed going from a Spanish town to a Mexican.
