Join us for a bilingual story time all about Cinco de Mayo!

Everyone’s heard of Cinco de Mayo, but do you know the real story behind it? In this immersive theater and storytelling experience, you won’t just hear it—you’ll live it! With Esther as your guide, you’ll act, sing, and dance your way through the true history of Cinco de Mayo. You’ll finally discover why this day is truly celebrated and how it’s done in Mexico.
