You can’t honor our culture if you ignore our struggle.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Hoy celebramos la valentía y determinación de México al derrotar al ejército francés en la Batalla de Puebla de 1862. En Estados Unidos, especialmente en áreas con grandes comunidades mexicoamericanas, esta fecha se convierte en una oportunidad para honrar y compartir la rica cultura y herencia mexicana a través de la comida, la música y las festividades.

Putting on a free public event in Sacramento comes with rising financial challenges compared to neighboring counties—from city permits to logistical costs. Raíces United Inc. is committed to keeping the event free for families and accessible to local vendors by intentionally keeping vendor fees low.

"This festival is for the people-and that means making sure families can attend without cost and vendors have a real opportunity to grow," said Olga Rodriguez. "We're building something with heart and intention. It may look different from past years, but that's because we're not recreating a cookie-cutter event—we're curating something meaningful, rooted in culture, and responsive to today's needs. As we rebuild, we know the community will support the evolution, because access matters. And free, inclusive, community-driven events like this are something we all deserve."

Raíces United Inc. is a new nonprofit grounded in Indigenous heritage and focused on supporting immigrant families, veterans, single fathers, and children through cultural celebration, advocacy, and direct support. The festival marks both a comeback and a bold new beginning.

📣Media advisory and Public Notice
More details about Cinco de Mayo Sacramento and future events!

📢 Important Announcement: It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Cinco de Mayo Festival at Southside Park. We understand the disappointment this may bring to our community, and we want to share the reasons behind this decision.

🚫 Naming Issue: Despite our best efforts, we were informed that we could not use the name “Cinco de Mayo” for the festival due to unforeseen circumstances. This unexpected restriction significantly impacted our ability to secure sponsorships and support.

💰 Financial Challenges: Additionally, after reviewing the fees required by the city and other agencies, we found them to be prohibitively high. Passing these costs on to vendors would compromise our commitment to affordable and accessible events for all.

🤝 Call to Action: We invite our community to join us in addressing these challenges. We are seeking to engage with the City of Sacramento and city officials to explore solutions that support the continuation of cultural events like “Cinco de Mayo”. Your support and engagement are crucial as we navigate these issues together. Councilmember Eric Guerra Councilmember Katie ValenzuelaSacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

🌟 Future Plans: While this year’s festival may not proceed as planned, we remain committed to celebrating our culture and community. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved in future events and we ask that you please get out there and support other local Cinco de Mayo events in your community!

🙏 Thank You: We want to express our gratitude to our community, sponsors, vendors, and partners for their continued support. Together, we can overcome these challenges and create a more vibrant and inclusive community for all.
