Richmond's Cinco de Mayo Festival, presented in collaboration with the City of Richmond and the 23rd Street Merchants Association, returned Sunday, bringing live music, food, and cultural performances to 23rd Street
The 21st anniversary celebration ran from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. along 23rd Street between Rheem and Clinton avenues.
Live music played all day on multiple stages featuring Native American dancing, while local merchants served traditional foods. Dozens of children's activities lined the street, including pony rides, bouncy houses, face-painting, and crafts, alongside community resource groups offering games, giveaways, and information.
Organizers said this milestone year promised one of the festival's biggest turnouts yet, celebrating Mexican culture through music, food, and community spirit.
Richmond's 23rd Street corridor has long served as the annual setting for the peaceful, family-friendly event.
