Venice Cinco de Mayo Parade & Festival

Join us for the Venice Cinco de Mayo Parade and Festival on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 at Oakwood Park (767 California Ave, Venice, CA 90291), running from 10 AM to 6 PM. The parade kicks off at 10 AM at Lincoln Blvd and California Ave, with the festival beginning at 11 AM along 7th Ave between California and Broadway. The celebration will feature Aztec dancers, Folklorico dancers, Mariachi, DJs, classic cars, the Brown Berets, food trucks, raffles, and live music from Norteño Banda and DJ Hypnotize.
This year, showing up is more important than ever. As the Trump administration continues to target immigrant communities through raids, deportations, and fear, coming out to celebrate Mexican American heritage isn't just a party, it's an act of solidarity. Our immigrant neighbors built this city and enrich every block of it. Being present in Venice on May 2nd is a powerful way to say that we stand together. This is a free, family-friendly community event. All are welcome
