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. Tulips faced tough growing conditions '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. A full list of times and events is available here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Local concrete company gives back to community
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A local concrete company is helping its employees give back to the community. Wednesday morning, Gage Brothers gave over 97-hundred dollars to Caminando Juntos. This is part of Gage Brothers employee giving program. The company matches the amount employees give. House Bill 1052 on CO2 pipelines passed. Now what? 'We implemented our employee giving program because we want to support the organizations and causes are team members our passionate about. And we find that's a way that we can show them that we value them,' said Cassie Nicolai from Gage Brothers Concrete Products. 'People who donate the money, the workers who donate the money, perhaps, were at some point assisted by Caminando Juntos. And so they are giving back to us through this method which is very much appreciated, and it becomes one of those things where it's full circle,' said Matthew Tschetter, Caminando Juntos Executive Director. Caminando Juntos says the money will go towards all the services they provide. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
