Denton's 29th annual Cinco de Mayo celebration commemorating the historic battle of Puebla will feature a parade and festivities at Quakertown Park. The celebration begins with a parade that steps off at 10 a.m. from the Texas Woman's University parking lot on the corner of Locust and Oakland streets, then proceeds down Elm Street to Courthouse Square, around Quakertown Park, and ends at the Civic Center parking lot.
During the day, a variety of entertainment ranging from bands to the Little Miss Cinco de Mayo pageant will take place on two stages in the park. A children's arts and crafts area will give kids the chance to make and keep traditional Mexican crafts, and activities for kids include piñata games for kids ages 1-6. Vendors will offer a variety of foods, drinks, jewelry, crafts and other items.
