Lockhart is a friendly, delightful, enterprising and historic community with many historical landmarks, historical homes and great places to eat and shop. For our Diez Y Seis Celebration, Lockhart will be filled with great sounds of live music, fun activities and carnival rides for the kids, great gift items from our arts and crafts vendors, and the savory smells from food vendors which will fill the air of our historic downtown.

Welcome everyone to this year’s Diez-y-Seis Celebration on the Lockhart Historic Square! It has been more than 200 years since Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla read the Grito de Hidalgo to launch the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. It was Father Hidalgo who used the image of the Virgin de Guadalupe on a staff to symbolize the Mexican Liberation movement. This year, our community gathers to commemorate this occasion with a fun filled family tradition. Friday will feature the annual kickoff welcome by Caldwell County Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Marisa Islas, with food and arts and crafts booths. There will be a carnival for the kids and music provided by DJ Ortiz Sounds. Grammy Award nominees Jaime y los Chamacos will provide Friday night’s entertainment. Saturday will be an all day affair with more food, music, arts and craft booths. The carnival will be in full swing. A member of the Mexican Consulate will perform “El Grito.” After the crowing of the Diez y Seis Queen, Badd Boyz del Valle will pack the Square. Our businesses on the square will be open as usual, with a wide variety of shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. So come on down to the Square for a warm welcome, cool refreshments, great music and give a big thanks to the Greater Caldwell County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce! Sincerely, Lew White Mayor, City of Lockhart
