La Unión Cívica Mexicana is a vital civic organization with a long record of giving back to our community. The Cinco de Mayo celebration brings great pride to our area by allowing local Hispanics to express their pride culturally and showcase their contributions to a diverse Great Lakes Bay Region. This is our signature event, but throughout the year our annual Adelante Awards, Dia de los Muertos and Tamale Taste-off showcase us as a leading organization in the greater community. Please support our Civica Kitchen as it continually supports our cultural events.
Cinco de Mayo is always a day of pride for so many throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region. For many it’s a day we’ve always expected in early May, and we’ve grown up with the celebration honoring Latino Contributions to our community. Not every community is as blessed to have this event. That’s what it is really, a blessing. And NO, we’re not celebrating Mexico’s Independence Day — We’re celebrating who we are as a people, our heritage, our ancestors and how we are contributing to our community.
We invite everyone to celebrate with us! Cinco de Mayo is a staple event in Saginaw, just like the Bavarian Festival, The Greek Festival, Kwanzaa and even St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Bay City. They are the diverse celebrations that help make our region so great!
Inflatables and food vendors will also be on site.
Ticket Price: $5.00 cover at the gate
