CINCY-CINCO RETURNS TO FOUNTAIN SQUARE FOR A WEEKEND OF LATIN FLAVOR, MUSIC & CULTURE Get ready for an explosion of flavor and rhythm as Cincy-Cinco Latino Festival returns to downtown Cincinnati’s Fountain Square on Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3. This year’s festival promises to be MÁS GRANDE, MÁS DIVERTIDO, y MÁS DELICIOSO than ever before, bringing together the very best of Latino culture for an unforgettable two-day celebration.
Cincy-Cinco, the region’s premier Latino festival, invites families, friends, and community members to experience the rich traditions of Hispanic heritage through music, dance, and authentic cuisine. The sights, sounds, and flavors of Latin America will come alive in the heart of Cincinnati as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
A CULINARY ADVENTURE AWAITS
From juicy al pastor tacos and zesty ceviche to empanadas Colombianas and pork tostadas, prepare your taste buds for a culinary journey through Latin America. A dozen local and regional restaurants will serve mouthwatering street food menus featuring regional dishes and signature festival creations. Be sure to visit each vendor and discover a special, festival-only dish!
LIVE MUSIC & NON-STOP ENTERTAINMENT
The Fountain Square stage will pulse with the energy of more than a dozen Latino performers from across the Midwest. Dance to the infectious rhythms of salsa, merengue, and bachata, and enjoy vibrant folkloric performances representing Mexico, Brazil, and Panama. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the floor for the first time, the music will move you.
FAMILY FUN & INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES
Cincy-Cinco is a family-friendly event with plenty of activities for children and adults alike. Saturday afternoon will feature games, raffles, piñatas, and a lively Conga parade with Cincinnati’s favorite mascots during the Welcoming Event. Kids can also visit the children’s area to paint a flowerpot just in time for Mother’s Day.
