Sweltering heat couldn’t dry the spirits of people celebrating the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez on Saturday at the Las Colonias Amphitheatre. Organized by the Cesar Chavez Celebration Committee, Saturday’s event not only honored the iconic activist, but celebrated Latino heritage as a whole with Aztec dances, musical performances and speeches. Cesar Chavez Day is March 31, but the Grand Valley celebration was delayed this year because of COVID-19. “We chose this location because it was an area where our ancestors settled and worked, and we honor Cesar Chavez to also honor those who work in the fields to put food on our tables,” said Nelly Garcia, a volunteer with the celebration committee. “He saw that workers didn’t have the rights that every human should have, and he was able to change that. He led by example.”
