LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Plaza Mexico celebrates Mexico's victory at the Battle of Puebla with its annual Cinco de Mayo event full of tradition, culture, music, and community on May 3, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

The festivities include musical guests Plenazo Tribe, a vibrant musical collective that was part of Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl earlier this year. Also performing are Los Caminantes, Manuel Bernal y Sus Allegados, Grupo Fuerza Letal, Buknas de Culiacan, El Internacional Grupo La Migra, Josie Sánchez, Gabriel Arteaga, Banda El Rosario de Jalisco, Roció La Tigrita, Elvira Pérez, Jazmyne Maravilla, and El Chilaquil with Nallely as the host.

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated annually on May 5, commemorating the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory provided a moral boost for Mexico and, some argue, prevented France from aiding the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

Plaza Mexico would like to thank many of the 'mercado' tenants for their support, as well as partners: LA Galaxy, Telemundo 52, and WSS.

Throughout 2026, Plaza Mexico will be your go-to spot for programming a variety of events—from lively festivals and artisan markets to kids' activities, live music, and community celebrations.
