The 15th annual Cinco de Mayo Peace and Unity Parade returned Saturday morning, a day before the Richmond festival. The parade started at 24th Street and Barrett Avenue in Richmond, and ended at St. Paul’s Church, in San Pablo.
Hundreds of spectators, most of them holding and waving Mexican flags, watched the colorful event which featured floats, the Richmond High School marching band, local schools, elected officials, Mexican live music, traditional dancing performances, including samba dancers who didn’t fear the cold weather after the rain stopped just on time to start the parade, lowrider cars, among other participants. The parade culminated with a spectacular attraction by charros horseback riding their beautiful horses from Richmond, San Pablo and Martinez.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla, Mexico, where the underdog Mexican army defeated the French in 1862.
