The 2011 Rebozo Festival will celebrate its seventh year from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 15 at the historic Adolfo Camarillo Ranch in Camarillo.
This unique cultural event features a Mexican inspired brunch, Mariachis, a fashion show highlighting the rebozo (shawl), live and silent auction and other activities, organizers reported in a media release.

Funds raised will be used to provide leadership development opportunities to, primarily, grassroots working families many of whom are recent immigrants, first generation children of immigrants, women and children. Special training emphasis will be on recruiting and training women leaders to take active roles in organizing committees and lead strategic policy change campaigns that would positively impact the lives of thousands of families throughout our county.
