Flying The Mexican Flag at Detroit's Cinco de Mayo Fiesta


Many were flying the Mexican Flag

at Detroit's Clark Park this past weekend

to celebrate and show their pride during the Cinco de Mayo festivities.

I have a ton of photos.

I also have a few short videos.

I will begin posting slowly, slowly as soon as I download.

I've only downloaded one set so far.

And now comes the task of uploading stuff online.

Keep checking folks. .. Young people in Ethnic dress, Dora the Explorer, Spongebob, Low Riders. . .and wearing the Mexican Flag is one local tradition Mi Gente in Detroit is not going to allow to go by the wayside anytime soon! All of the photos will be forthcoming.

And I have a great little story to share about a young man named George and his twin brother, Jorge. The two hadn't seen each other in years but met up at the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta in Detroit this past weekend! It's quite a story. . . .but right now, I'm just too tired to blog much. . . .

For now, though,

I just need about a gallon of coffee

But, since today is the actual Cinco de Mayo,

I thought you all would appreciate a little Bandera video I took during the festivities!

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

¡Viva Mexico!

¡Viva America!

¡Viva Detroit!
