KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — Sept. 16th will look a little brighter in Kelseyville this year.
In honor of Mexican Independence Day, the Kelseyville Business Association, or KBA, will proudly line Main Street with forty beautiful Mexican flags.
The flags, purchased by the KBA, will be a lasting tradition in future years as a tribute to the many community members of Mexican heritage who help make Kelseyville such a vibrant place to live.
Generous donations from local residents funded the new flagpoles, underscoring the community spirit that Kelseyville is known for.
While this year’s Día de la Independencia festival was canceled to prioritize the safety and well-being of residents, the KBA wanted to ensure the day was still honored in a meaningful way.
“We’re excited to bring this new tradition to Main Street,” said Helen Finch, president of the Kelseyville Business Association. “It’s a simple but powerful way to show our support for the many residents who celebrate this important day. We hope everyone takes a moment to stroll downtown, enjoy the display, and join us in honoring Mexican Independence Day.”
Founded in 1967, the Kelseyville Business Association is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to supporting the prosperity and growth of Kelseyville and its surrounding communities.
