Parade & Festival Set for Sunday, September 16, 2012
Milwaukee ? Milwaukee County Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic and Supervisor Peggy A. Romo West are inviting their neighbors and all Milwaukee County residents to join them for the 41st UMOS Mexican Independence Parade & Festival to be held Sunday, September 16, 2012. The parade kicks off at 11:30 a.m. from 20th & Oklahoma Avenue. The festival is set for noon to 8 p.m. at UMOS Corporate Headquarters at 2701 S. Chase Avenue.
The two elected officials represent Supervisory districts with the largest Hispanic populations in Milwaukee County.
?It?s a privilege and an honor to celebrate Mexico?s history with friends and neighbors in Milwaukee County,? said Chairwoman Dimitrijevic. ?As someone fluent in Spanish and with a great affection for the culture, I look forward to this event every year.? The parade and festival mark one of the most significant moments in Mexican history; late on the night of September 15, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla demanded that Mexicans should govern Mexico.
?As a Mexican-American, I?m extremely proud to participate in this commemoration,? said Supervisor Romo West. ?The bravery of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla fills us with strength for today?s struggles for equality and justice.? This year?s parade features a new route down Oklahoma Avenue. After starting at 20th & Oklahoma, the parade will travel east to 6th Street, then north to Rosedale and will end at UMOS Corporate Headquarters at 2701 S. Chase Avenue.
