“We are especially proud to be celebrating this year while we commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla in which the Mexican army supported by the Tlaxcaltecas and Huehues tribes defeated the French army of Napoleon III, in 1862” said the foundation.  

A civic ceremony will take place with the representation of the General Consulate of Mexico in Los Angeles, the Mexican Civic Patriotic Committee, the members of the Lynwood City Council and various Authorities of Mexico and Southern California.

A variety of shows will take place including; Jesus Ojeda y sus Parientes, José Alonso el Plebe, Grandeza Mexicana folkloric Ballet, Banda Nueva Tierra, Los Nuevos Chavalones, Oriente Cuatro, Mariachis, Theatrical, and the on-site preparation of the world largest Chile en Nogada.

Our goal is that our guests feel the joy of Mexico, its colors, its flavors, and its music, with the hallmark of our square, the faithful representation of the architectural treasures representative of Mexican culture. We invite you to enjoy an authentic Cinco de Mayo.

We highlight the importance for our community to participate and live the history that unites our countries. This event provides a great opportunity for children and young people alike to participate and endorse the history, culture and traditions and appreciate the strong relationship that Mexico and The United States had in the past, contributing to strengthening our ties within our cultural diversity.

Our 10 years experience of being in the preference of our beloved community distinguishes us and has made our Plaza the most representative of the spirit of Mexican joy, and therefore the center of the experience with Mexico in Southern California.
