The City of Coachella later this month will hold Coachella Chavez Day, an event to honor civil rights and labor leader Cesar Chavez. It is the first time the city will put on the celebration, which invites the Coachella Valley community to enjoy free live entertainment and hear from a special speaker. Coachella Chavez Day is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. behind the Coachella Library on Wednesday, March 29, two days ahead of Cesar Chavez Day, an official state holiday since 2014. The event will feature keynote speaker Andres Chavez, grandson of Cesar Chavez, and the executive director of the National Chavez Center , which works to preserve his grandfather's legacy.
