The significance of this American Tradition cannot be understated, we are proud that Columbia played a significant role in its origins. We invite you to explore, and experience what it might have felt like for Mexican Americans so full of pride and patriotism in 1862 to burst forth in celebratory joy!
Today we celebrate the spirit of Cinco de Mayo with equal passion and enthusiasm through art, culture, and history.
Join us to explore the festive town, listen to music, stroll the vendor’s mercado, children’s activities and visit this year’s gem – a colorful, new Cinco de Mayo interpretive exhibit in the State Park Museum.
