Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Saint Paul
When it comes to Cinco de Mayo, no one does it like Saint Paul's Westside. Here's what you need to know about Minnesota's largest Latino events.
The Westside Cinco de Mayo Festival celebrates the community’s Mexican heritage and Mexico’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
This festival began in 1985 to celebrate the community and its businesses and serve as a means for preserving the area’s rich culture and history. It is a gathering of local residents as much as it is an opportunity for non-residents to experience the vibrancy of Saint Paul’s West Side.
