Cinco de Mayo!

May 1st, 2008

All of the fun Cinco de Mayo events put on by the Downtown Neighborhood Association start today on Kimball in the old Gail Borden Library lot! I took a photo earlier today of the carnival being set up.

I’m guessing highlights for me will be the food, the parade on Saturday at noon, and the little Miss Cinco de Mayo pageant on Saturday at 1:45 pm. NO make-up is allowed on the girls in the pageant, which I think makes it the coolest pageant ever.

Here is the schedule:
Thursday, May 1: 5 to 10 pm
Friday, May 2: 5 to 11 pm
Saturday, May 3: 1-11 pm
Sunday, May 4: 1-10 pm

PS, Cinco de Mayo is not the Mexican Independence Day. Click here for the low down on what it celebrates.
