Enjoy a Cinco de May Celebration from Sin Barreras / Without Barriers, your local nonprofit serving Hispanic immigrants.

This Cinco de Mayo, enjoy tacos, live music, locally crafted pottery bowls, delicious Latin treats, piñatas, games, and more. All while benefiting and empowering your local Hispanic immigrant community!

Sin Barreras’ mission is to empower immigrants and their families in central Virginia, with a focus on the Latinx population, through education, advocacy, and supporting their needs.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s triumph over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This victory demonstrated the strength and courage of the Mexican soldiers against a powerful and better-equipped European army. While it is not Mexico’s Independence Day (which is celebrated on September 16), Cinco de Mayo has become a symbol of Mexican pride and resilience. Celebrated mostly in the United States, it is a day to honor Mexican culture and heritage.
