Cinco de Mayo Celebration

Join the LatinX Center for Cinco de Mayo on Saturday, May 4th 2024 at 12 PM in downtown Flint. We have good food and fun attractions for the whole family. Cinco de Mayo is a holiday celebrating a day nobody saw coming: on May 5, 1862 Mexico’s small army of 2,000 soldiers did the unthinkable and won against 6,000 French troops during the Battle of Puebla. Years later, in 1915 after the Mexican Civil War ended, many Mexican families came to the United States to start fresh. When that happened, Americans were introduced to Cinco de Mayo by their Mexican friends and neighbors. Come have a fun filled Saturday with the LatinX Center!
