Cinco de Mayo, like St. Patrick’s Day, doesn’t require a connection to country, just the potential to party. But where to begin?
The most sizable celebration in the Southwest, the Cinco de Mayo Phoenix Festival 2010, features two days of live entertainment, including local bands, ballet folklorico, Mexican food, and family fun for more than 225,000 cinco-savvy spectators. It takes place in downtown Phoenix on Jefferson Street between 1st and 5th avenues.
Sat., May 1, 2 p.m.-midnight; Sun., May 2, 12-10 p.m., 2010
