Before you leave, check out the area's historic Hispanic landmarks like the Buena Onda Mural and the Abogadas neon sign, one of Route 66’s first Spanish language neon signs.
Capitol Hill - Oklahoma CityThe Historic Capitol Hill District was once slated to be the state's capital until it was annexed to Oklahoma City in 1911.

Local artists will be on hand selling their authentic goods while singers, dancers and performers entertain guests throughout the day.
