Denver's Cinco de Mayo "Celebrate Culture" Festival has been a Mile High tradition for more than three decades! The free event will take place in Civic Center Park . It attracts some 400,000 attendees annually and boasts two large stages with live entertainment from morning until night, featuring Mariachi, Cumba, Salsa, Norteno and many other genres of Latino music and dance.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the outnumbered Mexican army over French forces, providing the momentum and national confidence for the Mexican people to drive the foreign power from their country. Today, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the tradition of freedom and acknowledges the beauty of Latino culture. 

Other events during the festival include the annual Cinco de Mayo Community Parade, a taco-eating contest, a lowrider car show and the famous Chihuahua race!

As you stroll through Civic Center Park, check out vendors displaying Mexican folk art and handcrafted goods. If you've brought your little ones along, be sure to check out the fun and festive Children's Carnival, with hands-on activities, fuzzy animals and rides kids will love. 

Food is a big part of Cinco de Mayo, and there will be plenty of it at the Cinco de Mayo Festival. More than 350 vendors will be serving up tacos, enchiladas, burritos and more of the best Colorado Mexican cuisine. Don't miss the annual Green Chili Bowl Cook-Off, a hotly contested competition featuring more than a dozen restaurants vying for the coveted first prize. Green chili is a Denver culinary staple, so expect these offerings to be the best of the best.
