Dallas Cinco de Mayo Parade & Fiestas

Viva México! North Texas’ biggest and longest-running Cinco de Mayo parade takes over historic Jefferson Boulevard in Oak Cliff on Saturday, May 3, from 8 a.m. to noon. Free and open to the public, the Dallas Cinco de Mayo Parade and Fiestas is a vibrant tribute to Hispanic heritage and community pride featuring a mile-long procession complete with colorful floats, music, folklórico dancers, lowriders, marching bands and larger-than-life Mojiganga puppets.

A fan favorite is back! The iconic candy-apple red 1969 Chevrolet Impala from the 1997 Selena movie will make a special return appearance. Spectators can get photo ops with the famous Selena car while enjoying live deejay music, cultural showcases, local vendors, eateries and more.

The Dallas Cinco de Mayo Parade steps off from the Oak Cliff Cultural Center at 9am, so don’t miss the confetti blast kickoff and come celebrate the spirit and joy of the community.

Presented by the Oak Cliff Coalition for the Arts (OCCA). Follow on Facebook for event updates. No admission required to attend parade and festival. Donations are welcome and benefit the Oak Cliff Coalition for the Arts' arts and educational programs.
