A significant festival from the heart of Mexico will debut on March 9th, on the west coast of the United States. For the first time, the Oaxacan and Chicano community in California will hold an Indigenous Coastal Carnival, a unique tradition filled with colorful masks and traditional dances.

The event will take place in the city of Santa Ana, just half an hour from Hollywood, and will span the entire Saturday in three parts. First, there will be a tasting of tacos and one of the most traditional beverages on Mexican tables: tepache, known as the light and sweet pineapple beer.
