“Celebrating La Union Civica Mexicana’s 80th Anniversary”

Cinco de Mayo is always a day of pride for so many throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region. For many it's a day we've always expected in early May, and we've grown up with the celebration honoring Latino Contributions to our community. Not every community is as blessed to have this event. That's what it is really, a blessing. And NO, we're not celebrating Mexico's Independence Day — We're celebrating who we are as a people, our heritage, our ancestors and how we are contributing to our community.

We invite everyone to celebrate with us! Cinco de Mayo is a staple event in Saginaw, just like the Bavarian Festival, The Greek Festival, Kwanzaa and even St. Patrick's Day Parade in Bay City. They are the diverse celebrations that help make our region so great!

In celebrating the 46th annual Cinco de Mayo, we need your help to make this year’s parade memorable. We are encouraging our community to make festive floats with the theme of “Celebrating ” remembering families, ancestors and those who made us who we are today.

It is a testament to the pride of Mexican-American culture and their history that the Great Lakes Bay Region has kept this festival alive and strong. It is part of the fabric of the quilt that makes this region attractive to any settlers or visitor who embraces diversity in their lives. Viva la Cinco de Mayo!
