Cinco de Mayo

This victory day inflames patriotism and pride in the hearts of the citizens of Mexico. Here in Del Rio, kinship with Ciudad Acuņa inspires merrymaking on this side of the border as well. In the days surrounding Cinco de Mayo, booths at Brown Plaza offer food, crafts, gifts, and fun for everyone.

 

Diez y Seis

September 16 (Diez y Seis de Diciembre) is the anniversary of Mexican independence from Spain. As such, it too commands fireworks and revelry. Ciudad Acuņa dresses up in red, white, and green, while Del Rio hosts a carnival with a variety of vendors and activities.
