Saint Paul's 2009 Cinco de Mayo Fiesta another success!

St. Paul’s Cinco de Mayo Fiesta on May 1 and 2 was a success! Over 100,000 fiesta goers – and the sun! – turned out to celebrate Minnesota’s Hispanic/Latino culture at the two-day, outdoor festival in the heart of the West Side community. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta in St. Paul is one of top 10 Cinco de Mayo celebrations nationwide. The host of the event, the Riverview Economic Development Association, thanks the 300+ volunteers and sponsors who made the fiesta possible. All proceeds from the celebration will be reinvested in the West Side community in the form of neighborhood revitalization efforts and economic development initiatives

The 2009 Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Brochure is here!

Cinco de Mayo does not celebrate Mexican Independence Day, as many people believe. It marks the anniversary of Mexico's “Battle of Puebla” in 1862 when a fledgling Mexican army defeated the larger, better-equipped invading French forces. Cinco de Mayo festivals throughout the United States honor this historic part of Mexican history, and also celebrate Hispanic/Latino culture and tradition.
