Thousands of people are expected to participate in the 8th Annual Cesar E. Chavez Walk.

Says Rodriquez, “The best tribute to Cesar Chavez is the thousands of young people who will walk to show their commitment to continue his legacy.”The April 1 walk commences at 9am on Historic Olvera Street, 125 Paseo de la Plaza (at kiosk on Main St. between Arcadia and Cesar Chavez Ave.) Walkers return for a program and festival at approximately 11:30am.
