Downtown Los Banos was the venue for a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration on Oct. 6, as many Mariachi bands and dancers performed for the large crowd of spectators.

Longtime Los Banos resident and businessman Joe Gutierrez coordinated the performers and with the help of Maribel Garcia, executive director of the Los Banos Downtown Association and  Michelle Sandoval, executive director of the Los Banos Chamber of Commerce, people were able to sit and enjoy the music and food from downtown restaurants.
