At this event, attendees will experience and observe Danza Temachtia Quetzalcoatl’s 13th Anniversary & Huey Miccailhuitl Celebration honoring our dead in an indigenous tradition. This Danza Mexica ceremony is open to the public. Danza Mexica also is known as Aztec Dancing is a cultural dance tradition widely practiced throughout California and nationwide with origins dating back to ancient Mesoamerican ceremonies of Mexico and Central America.  We welcome you to visit Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural's booth for information about how to connect with indigenous ways and practices.
