Community celebrations of Cinco de Mayo abound across the area, bringing live music, arts, crafts, and community together around the marking of Mexico’s victory in the 1862 Battle of Puebla (more on the history of Cinco de Mayo here). At the Rose Bowl, a youth soccer tournament, a crafts marketplace, and themed movie screenings (Coco and Beverly Hills Chihuahua) take over the Rose Bowl field.

Across town on the Santa Monica Promenade, you can expect performances by UCLA’s Mariachi de Uclatlán, Academia de Danza BFFM and recording artist Danny Muñoz. There are also special outdoor dining options from Casa Martin, Cabo Cantina, 1212 and Ugo Trattoria.
