Sunday, June 11 • Farmworker Heroes Exhibit
A Song For Cesar Film Screening
“Farmworker Heroes Day is more than just a one-time event at the San Mateo County Event Center & Fair. It’s an educational exhibit designed to educate the public and acknowledge and celebrate individuals who keep our food system running.” – Justin Aquino, Fair Operations Manager
We invite everyone to join us in celebrating Farmworker Heroes Day and recognizing the invaluable contributions of Farmworkers at the San Mateo County Fair, June 3-11, 2023.
⍟ About The San Mateo County Fair
The award-winning San Mateo County Fair is the Peninsula’s premier community event for family fun and entertainment. The San Mateo County Fair strives to provide a diverse experience through education, inspiration, and entertainment. The annual Fair represents a celebration of our community’s talent, interests, innovations, and rich agricultural and artistic heritage.
⍟ About The Event
Farmworkers across the world have been working hard to keep our communities fed and our food system alive during these unpredictable times. The San Mateo Event & Fair is committed to supporting the health and rights of farmworkers and laborers and honoring Cesar Chavez’s legacy, that is why, in conjunction with the Cesar Chavez Foundation, we will be hosting a special event dedicated to our local farmworker heroes during the Dia de la Feria.
On June 11th, we will be showing the documentary “A Song For Cesar.” The film tells a previously untold story about the musicians and artists – including Joan Baez, Maya Angelou, and Carlos Santana, among others – who dedicated their time, creativity, and even reputations to peacefully advance Cesar Chavez’s movement to gain equality and justice for America’s suffering farmworkers.
