CINCO DE MAYO
Santa Ana’s Cinco de Mayo
Festival returns to downtown
for its 18th year with a few
notable changes.
In the past, the family-friend-
ly event focused on Mexican
food, dance, music and visual
arts. This year, organizers are
adding jazz and dancing from
other cultures in an attempt
to broaden the scope. “I
want to plant a seed that will
let my community become
more open-minded with
other cultures,” Rosa Garcia, a
Santa Ana Arts and Culture
Commission member, said.
The free two-day event
starts at noon on May 6 and 7
and will have carnival games,
rides, plus a performance by
telenovela star Ninel Conde.
