Cinco de Mayo Festival 2023 Fills Civic Center Park

POSTED BY
Laura

The annual Cinco de Mayo “Celebrate Culture” Festival takes over Denver’s Civic Center Park, Saturday & Sunday, May 6 & 7, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. More than 200 exhibitors and food vendors will be serving up the best in Colorado Mexican cuisine.

A variety of local, regional and international talents will appear on three stages. A parade gets the fiesta started at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Laugh yourself silly at the Chihuahua Races (Saturday, 1 p.m.).

Cheer on those brave enough to stuff themselves for prizes at the Taco Eating Contest (Sunday, 2 p.m.). Anyone wanting to compete can register starting at noon at the tent near the stage. There will be three rounds of contests with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

Low-riders of all makes and models will be showcased along Colfax Avenue all weekend long.

The Main Stage at the Greek Amphitheatre will feature Mexican regional bands and genres such as mariachi, banda, cumbia, and more.
