Cinco de Mayo Parade in Odessa Draws Crowds and Color
The Cinco de Mayo parade meandered along Grant Avenue and Clements Street, with about 25 floats decorated in bright colors and the Mexican flag. Folklorico dancers and low rider cars entertained spectators as families lined the route to celebrate heritage and pride. The event was organized to include workers away from work, and attendees spoke of cultural significance and continued traditions. The celebration continues with Day of Fiesta West Texas and related events through the week.
