Annual festivities commence with the ringing of the bell at the historic Casa de Estudillo. This free festival commemorates an important day in early San Diego history when Alta California was still part of Mexico (declared independence from Spain on September 16, 1821). Fiestas Patrias parade kicks off the festivities that will include the escaramuzas, traditional women equestrians.
Following the parade, there will be a variety of entertainment, including historic and traditional music and dance groups, crafts, games, and informational demonstrations that represent the activities enjoyed by the early settlers on San Diego in the 1800s. The Chula Vista High School Mariachis will perform. Sponsored by California State Parks, Boosters of Old Town, and the Old Town business community.
