Vive el Cinco!

A rainbow of sites and sounds emanated from Santa Rita Park on Saturday as thousands of Cinco de Mayo participants soaked up the culture and great music
of this year’s event. Multiple dance companies and musicians were on hand including La Escuela de Musica Mexicana, from Durango, Mexico, which provided some of the day’s most entertaining music and dance performances. Fabulous food and a variety of booths helped feed and entertain Saturday’s diverse and festive crowd.
