Virtual Cinco De Mayo Celebration

A virtual fiesta featuring musical performances and a variety of fun activities will mark the City of Carson’s 46th annual Cinco de Mayo celebration scheduled for Wednesday, May 5.

Aztec dancers, mariachi, and over $100 in gift cards will be given away during the live trivia during the event.  Also featured are local talents from Calas Park Alma de Oro and 9 year old Myah Valenzuela.

Cinco de Mayo is more than a celebration of a single, glorious moment in the long history of Mexico’s struggle for independence with their victory over the French at the “Batalla de Puebla,” in Puebla, Mexico on May 5, 1862.  It is a reaffirmation of self-determination, a universal aspiration shared by freedom-loving people throughout the United States and the world.

Cinco de Mayo is one of the cultural events sponsored by the City of Carson to celebrate the diversity of its population. Carson is home to more than 35,000 Latin-Americans, making up about 35 percent of the city’s population.

Time: 6:30 p.m. May 5
