Review of Washington D.C. Cinco de Mayo Festival

Location: on the mall, Washington D.C.

May 5, 2013

Exhibits: Bands, dancers, craft booths

Price:   Free

How we got there:  Metro

Best For: any age (toddlers would like the bands and dancers)

Rating: 3 stars - good but not a "must see"

Most Interesting Thing I learned: A lot of people think Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican Independence Day, but it really celebrates the Mexican Army beating the French in a big battle. My Dad told me this, I didn't learn it at the festival.

 

Cinco de Mayo Festival


This festival is about Mexican and Latin culture. They had lots of live music with dancers in colorful costumes. There was a long line for food, they needed more vendors, and a number of booths with crafts for sale. The festival  was much smaller then I expected.  It would be good to see if you were already downtown, and had a blanket to sit on and watch the bands.
