The biggest and longest-running Cinco de Mayo parade in North Texas takes over historic Jefferson Boulevard in Oak Cliff on Saturday, May 3, from 8 a.m.-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. The parade step-off features a Confetti Shoot kick-off at 9 a.m. at the corner of 300 W. Jefferson Blvd. and South Madison Ave.
The mile-long procession features colorful floats, music, folklórico dancers, lowriders, marching bands. and larger-than-life Mojiganga puppets. As a special treat, the iconic candy-apple red 1969 Chevrolet Impala from the 1997 Selena movie will make a return appearance.
