San Francisco Cinco de Mayo Festival in Dolores Park, an event of Mission Neighborhood Centers is an annual old tradition that celebrates unity, freedom and diversity of all Latin American cultures by commemorating the Mexican anniversary of the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Every year a lineup of standing performers bring their talent to hundreds, maybe thousands of viewers in the park. Politicians, television and radio hosts and community leaders express their words and entertrain to a crowd that identifies with the cause. Mariachi music, folklorico dancers, salsa bands, and latin jazz to name a few. Ethnic food, community resources, and nick knacks decorate the fair.
