El Centro de la Raza Beacon Hill
Sat May 4, 11 am–6 pm
Every year, El Centro de la Raza hosts this Cinco de Mayo party to celebrate the richness of Mexican American culture (and the Mexican Army's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862). Check it out for traditional food, an open-air market, a multicultural parade, live music (last year's event saw performances from Los Folklore Mexicano Tonantzin and José Iñiguez) and art activities.
