A crowd of farmworkers, city officials, residents and members of Half Moon Bay’s immigrant community celebrated the completion of a vibrant mural unveiled Friday in downtown.


The eye-catching artwork features rich colors and images of a folklorico dancer, a farmworker with a barrel of Brussels sprouts, and an older Latina woman surrounded by blue and white hydrangeas. It stood out against the foggy gray sky that covered the coastal town during the unveiling.
