When life gives you Cinco de Mayo on a Tuesday, you celebrate on the preceding Sunday.
With this in mind, I am delighted to say that I will get to be a small part of the upcoming
17th annual National Cinco de Mayo Festival on May 3 from noon to 6 p.m. on the National Mall near the Washington Monument. (You can't miss it, seriously.)
At 1 p.m. and 2 p.m I will be reading The Best Mariachi in the World/El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo at the Children's Pavilion and Crafts ARea and giving away a few copies after each time slot. There will also be performances by the Maru Montero Dance Company, the host of the events, as well as other dancers and musicians and additional activities. Food from Mexico and other Latin American countries will be on sale (cash only), and I think it's fair to say that there will be sombreros. What's not to like?
This is a rain-or-shine event, so the weather will not disrupt our plans.

JD, that's awesome. (Pardon my use of the word "awesome", but it is.) Have fun. Take pictures.
Thank you very much, Chris.
This should be great fun, and I'm totally serious about the likelihood of sombreros.
