A new larger-than-life mural honoring the humanity of farmworkers and their allies will be unveiled at a free, family-friendly celebration at Chicano Park: Sunday June 25 at 1 p.m. El Cortito Mural, which commemorates the historic California Supreme Court ruling that dramatically improved working conditions for California farmworkers by banning the short-handled hoe -- known as El Brazo del Diablo, The Devil's Arm -- will be introduced to the community on Sunday. Many know el cortito as a cruel harvesting tool that forced farmworkers to stoop over for hours on end in the searing sun, imposing debilitating back and spinal deformities on generations of laborers. The event features live music, dance performances by Azteca Kuauhkoatl, huelga songs and inspiring historical accounts from those whose work to recognize the humanity of California's farmworkers is memorialized in the mural. Come for the unveiling ceremony; please stay and enjoy a kaleidoscope of larger-than life murals at Chicano Park -- a national historical landmark -- and learn of their historical significance. Then, visit the Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center (just steps north of Chicano Park) from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This event provides a multi-dimensional educational experience for all of San Diego!

The Year of the Dragon will be celebrated with the 19th annual San Diego Tết Festival in Mira Mesa from Friday, Feb. 16 to Saturday, Feb. 18 — attracting more than 30,000 attendees as the largest Lunar New Year celebration in San Diego County. The Year of the Dragon is typically considered an auspicious year, but for Vietnamese people, it’s even more special. The Vietnamese people are the product of the marriage of Lạc Long Quân (The Dragon Lord of Lạc) and Âu Cơ, a mountain snow goddess. Vietnamese often considered themselves to be descendants of dragons and gods (con rồng cháu tiên), according to Vietnamese myths. “It’s important that we connect our youth to their culture,” said Dennis Duong, president of the Vietnamese American Youth Alliance, which organizes the festival. “This is, at the core, what the festival is about — connecting with our roots and preserving the culture.” The three-day festival features lion dances, a Cultural Village, the Miss Vietnam Pageant, and Vietnamese food, music and vendors. Following the Heavenly Stems (Thiên Can) counting system, this year’s stem is Giáp in combination with Green, Yang, Wood, and East, which means this year is the Eastern Green Wood Dragon. Festival hours are 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
