Description: For more than 30 years, the Portland Guadalajara Sister City Association (PGSCA) has hosted a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta that has become one of the largest multicultural celebrations in Oregon. The fiesta boasts three full days packed with festivities and culturally immersive programming at Tom McCall Waterfront Park. During the event, festival goers can experience the spirit of Mexico through music, arts, dance and sport. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta began in 1983, the same year that Guadalajara, Mexico, became one of Portland's nine international sister cities. As a direct result, a strong sense of cultural exchange continues to drive the activities and nonprofit collaborations of the festival.
