Cinco de Mayo Clarification at Market Square

The City of San Antonio clarified a misunderstanding regarding Cinco de Mayo celebrations at Market Square. Initial communication suggested a cancellation of the traditional event, but officials stated a large-scale celebration was never scheduled for this year.

Misleading Information & Event Details

The confusion stemmed from an erroneous inclusion of the event on a city calendar. The Center City Development & Operations Department explained that Market Square does not host a major Cinco de Mayo event annually, especially when Fiesta celebrations are nearby.

The city updated its Facebook post to indicate a cancellation, then clarified the event was replaced by a family-friendly piñata drop on May 3rd, which was well-attended. Market Square remains a vibrant destination for celebrating Cinco de Mayo, with the city encouraging patronage of local businesses.
