Yuma Festivals’ virtual Cinco de Mayo celebration of dance, music, car clubs and a salsa competition premieres on May 5th at 4pm.
Cinco de Mayo, a celebration of Mexican heritage, commemorates the date of the Mexican Army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, despite fewer soldiers and fewer military resources.
The virtual event is the latest in a series of video productions designed to celebrate annual festivals in the city center as local conditions continue to improve after COVID-19.
The city’s Cinco de Mayo virtual celebration begins with a narrative description of the vacation by longtime local Fernie Quiroz.
Glam Dance Studio performs with folk dancers. Mariachi music is provided by Jalisciense. A parade of lowrider vehicles comes from the local auto clubs Mi Vida and Streetwise. One feature will take the audience behind the scenes with “the best margaritas in town”. A salsa tasting competition rounds off the activities of the event.
“While we won’t be able to fill our Main Street Downtown District this year, we’re bringing the colorful celebration to your home,” said Joanne Fiser, Yuma Festival Coordinator. “Feel free to wear your traditional attire, grab some fries and salsa, a margarita or your favorite agua fresca, and sit back and enjoy what we have prepared for you this year.”
