People gathered in Civic Center Park in downtown Denver to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo Festival at Civic Center Park in Denver on May 28, 2024.
The annual festival and celebration help put the spotlight on the Mile High City’s vibrant Latino population. This year’s festival featured live music and dance performances on three stages. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the outnumbered Mexican army over French forces, providing 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. Denver’s Cinco de Mayo “Celebrate Culture” Festival has been a Mile High tradition for more than three decades.
