¡Hola! Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at the Toledo Zoo
Toledo, Ohio— Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico’s rich heritage, freedom and liberty. On Sunday, May 5, the Toledo Zoo shares in the festivities with music, dance and all-day fun. It’s one reason the Zoo has become Cinco de Mayo headquarters for families in the region. You can join in the family-friendly fun with these activities, all free with regular Zoo admission. Events run 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Zoo’s Main Plaza; in case of rain, the activities and performances move indoors to the Museum of Science. 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. DJ Tony Rios 12 – 1 p.m. El Corazon de Mexico Ballet Folklorico Dance Group 1 p.m. Kids, take a swing at our piñata filled with tasty treats! 1 – 2 p.m. DJ Tony Rios 2 – 3 p.m. El Corazon de Mexico Ballet Folklorico Dance Group Follow the festivities at toledozoo.org/cinco.
