Cinco de Mayo celebration this Saturday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The Cinco de Mayo Falls Park Fiesta celebrates Latino cultures in Sioux Falls and surrounding areas. There's a number of ways to get involved this weekend.
The family-friendly celebration is from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Saturday, May 10, at Falls Park. The event benefits Caminando Juntos, a ministry that supports Latino cultures with community resources across South Dakota.

'We connect them also with Immigration Legal Services and help them to get their paperwork in the right order and also with English language learning,' Caminando Juntos executive director Matthew Tschetter said.
Saturday's fiesta will feature live music, food trucks and kids activities. A dog fashion show, or 'Perros con Sombreros,' is also on the lineup.
'It has to be 40 pounds or less. You can dress the dog up. You can also dress up yourself,' Tschetter said. 'It's just a fun time.'
Organizers are still looking for volunteers to help with the fundraiser, too. You can sign up here.
'We're still looking for people to help tear down that night, which is a really important role. Everybody comes out and puts it together, and then there's lots of work to be done at the end, so we really enjoy people to come out and help us,' director of Mission Development Brooke Nicholson said.
Entry is free, and parking maps will be provided to visitors upon entrance.
