June 25, 2021, Wheaton, IL—Due to the prospect of inclement weather, the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce and the Wheaton Public Library have moved the “Wheaton Plaza del Zócalo,” scheduled for 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, June 26, inside the library, 225 N. Cross Street in Wheaton. The event is free and open to the public.
 
“Thanks to the generosity of Betsy Adamowski, director of the library, and her team, we are moving our event indoors” said Vickie Austin, president/CEO of the Wheaton Chamber. “Music, dancing and food will still be part of this Frida Kahlo-themed event,” she said, “along with a Business Expo featuring Chamber members.”
 
Authentic Mexican dancers “Los Chinelos” and music by two ensembles of the DuPage Symphony Orchestra will beguile the audience while Wheaton Chamber members share information at tables throughout the library’s main floor. Food will be available from Altiro Latin Fusion and Savory Crust plus iced tea samples from McAlister’s Deli. The previously scheduled pet parade had to be cancelled: according to Two Bostons owner AdreAnne Tesene, “Dogs and thunderstorms don’t mix.”
 
The Downtown Wheaton Association, Immigrant Solidarity DuPage and the City of Wheaton’s Community Relations Commission contributed time, talent and resources to this event with support from the Chamber’s Arts & Sports Tourism Committee and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee.
 
The day’s schedule includes:
1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.—Welcome and Business Expo
1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.—DuPage Symphony Orchestra Woodwind Quintet (Shirley Bodett, flute; Margie Arito, oboe: Deb Zelman, clarinet; Diane Remillard, bassoon; and Gary Green, horn, with percussionist Bill Jastrow)
2:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.—Los Chinelos Dancers sponsored by Immigrant Solidarity DuPage
3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.—DuPage Symphony Orchestra Trombone Quartet (Mark Houston, Greg Malovance, Corey Kirkpatrick and Larry Tomko)
 
The word “Zócalo” means “the public square of a Mexican city or town.” For more information, please contact events@wheatonchamber.com.
