Join La Senora for our Mexican Fiesta celebrating the history of Santa Monica Canyon when it was the 1839 Rancho Boca de Santa Monica. Neighboring families have gathered over the years to continue learning about the rich history of their community including the diverse customs, traditions, and skills of the many individuals who came together on the Rancho.
Stories will be told, by Rancho descendants, about their ancestral families, the actual settlers of this Mexican Land. Artisans demonstrating tile-making, leather arts, tortilla-making and the cooking of the bygone Rancho will be accompanied by opportunities for adults and children to join in dancing, tile decorating, pottery making, and Mexican games in the spirit of the end of ‘Roundup’ Fiestas. We even have a famous artist who’s volunteered to help the children create a 15’ mural.
Programs are designed to entertain and educate all ages – though we suspect some do come for the good food alone!
This Fiesta is for all our neighbors and friends! This Year’s Fiesta is being underwritten by one of our most generous Patron Members who wishes the gift to be designated ‘anonymous’. This donor has requested that all usual admission fees covering food and craft supplies be re-directed this year as donations to La Senora.
