The Denver Cinco de Mayo “Celebrate Culture” Festival is almost here – and Denver, we can’t wait!
Two days of music, food, culture, and community are coming to Civic Center Park on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Guided by the strength of the jaguar and the energy of the sun, this year’s celebration honors the courage and vitality at the heart of Mexican heritage. Whether you’re coming to dance, eat, watch the parade, or simply soak it all in – there’s a place for you here.
We’ll see you in the park, Denver. Visit our Website
