Welcome to House of Mexico
About Us
Welcome to the House of Mexico
We are a not-for-profit organization (Federal Tax ID 51 048 4533) focused on developing and implementing on-going programs that serve the community and reflect our mission to share, celebrate, educate and promote the rich art, culture and history of Mexico to San Diego and its visitors.
We invite you to join us in our quest to solidify our role as an integral part of the International Cottages of the House of Pacific Relations and the total Balboa Park experience.
Get Involved
Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!
Currently our main goal is to raise funds to construct a cottage that will provide a physical presence in Balboa Park. In addition, we provide year round programming at Balboa Park sharing the rich culture, arts, food, and traditions of Mexico at many events in the park and in the community, including our Lawn Program, Ethnic Food Fair, and International Christmas events.
Thank You
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
