Photos of Escondido’s Cinco de Mayo!

The North County Cinco de Mayo Festival brought exuberant life to Grape Day Park in Escondido today. The annual event, produced by USA Multicultural, was said to be bigger than ever. And I believe it!

Those arriving from around San Diego’s North County enjoyed Mariachis, different groups of colorful folklórico dancers, great singers, and other (mostly) Mexican cultural entertainment.

And tons of food, of every description, everywhere! (I succumbed to the temptation of a scrumptious carne asada quesadilla.)

Nonprofit community organizations were also on hand, and more than a few artists were showing their work. Beautify Escondido was present, too. I’ll be blogging about their efforts next.

Enjoy this collection of photographs!

The 2024 North County Cinco de Mayo Festival gets started on a late Sunday afternoon at Escondido’s Grape Day Park.

The National Anthems of both Mexico and the United States begin the Cinco de Mayo program.

Mariachi Del Mar/Rio kick off the main stage entertainment.

Mariachis perform at a second, smaller stage across the grass.

The crowd grows as the Cinco de Mayo event continues.

The House of Mexico had a smiling representative at the festival!
