Cinco de Mayo Celebration
Friday, May 5 | 5-9pm
Saturday, May 6 | 10am - 8pm
Tower Park, Downtown Delavan
Walworth Ave., Delavan
262.745.6084
Delavan will be celebrating with its annual Cinco De Mayo Celebration, which is a day celebrated by many Mexican-Americans across the United States. It is a day of cultural pride that commemorates the unlikely victory of an outnumbered Mexican Army over the French occupying forces in the state of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In the State of Puebla it is known as El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla or the day of the battle of Puebla. It is not the true independence day of Mexico, which is September 16, but is a time to come together as a community and celebrate freedom and share our culture and traditions with everyone.
This year’s festival in Delavan’s Downtown Tower Park will be a grand celebration, featuring arts & crafts, music & entertainment, and food vendors offering many delicious and traditional Mexican foods.
The entertainment portion of the festival kicks off on Friday with ConJunto Labrodor at 5pm, followed by Los Arnales de Texas at 7pm. Saturday's entertainment will be as follows:
10am -- DJ Rudy Rodriquez 11am -- Mariachi Lation 12:15pm -- Fania All-Star Breakers 1pm -- Mickie & Minnie 2pm -- Ballet Forklorico Nacional 3pm -- Jalapeño eating contest & crowning of Miss Cinco de Mayo 4pm -- DJ Rudy Rodriquez 5pm -- Lizvette Duran, a tribute to Selena 6-8pm -- Conjunto TMZ IV
At noon there will be a dedication of the FranCisco Vargas mural.
And don’t miss our featured car show this year that will appeal to the classic car lover in everyone!
This is a time for not just Delavan, but all area communities to visit historic downtown Delavan and enjoy great food, music and dancing that is sure to be a memorable experience. We hope to see you there and do not forget to visit and shop the many local downtown businesses that help support this event.
All funds raised will go to help support next year’s festival, as well as for a scholarship to be offered to a graduating student at Delavan-Darien High School.

FranCisco Vargas Mural Dedication
Saturday, May 6 | 12-1pm
Behind Hawk's Nest
103 N. 2nd St.,
Delavan
262.728.6000
Delavan’s 19th mural will be dedicated during the annual Cinco de Mayo Celebration. This mural is dedicated to the memory of FranCisco Vargas (1951-2015), an ward-winning artist & muralist from Fresno, CA. In 2014 he created the largest painted mural stamp in the United States (CA). Cisco was Co-Project Leader for the Rodriguez Brothers Potato Farm mural for Delavan’s June 2015 Walldog Event. Shortly after painting this mural, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and died September 7, 2015. Delavan was the last community that Cisco painted with the Walldogs. This memorial mural was executed by a host of Cisco’s friends during the Marshall, IL 2016 Walldog Event and designed by fellow Walldog Brenda Manor and she will be at the dedication of the mural.
Jay Allen, author of the Walldog book, will also be at the dedication to sign his book. This book beautifully highlights all the Walldog events from inception in 1993 through 2016. If you love our murals, you'll love this book! It is available at Remember When for $35. Proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Delavan Walldog Mural Project, so purchasing this book helps maintain the murals and add future murals!
Cake and refreshments will be served at the dedication. Join in the festivities; it’ll be a memorable experience! If you haven’t discovered Delavan’s Historic Walldog Mural Tour, we invite you to visit downtown Delavan soon. Mural map guides are available at many of the downtown stores. Shop the many local businesses that help support downtown events and helped make our memorable 2015 Walldog Mural Event extraordinary!
