Spring was out in full force last weekend with Cinco De Mayo parades, festivals and a few surprises. the weekend was an awesome reminder of where I live in Southwest Detroit that there is a huge latino culture that is vibrant and always ready for a fun time! the streets of Vernor were packed to the brim with several street blocked off to allow for crowds! It is always so great to see huge amounts of people coming out of the winter hibernation in order to enjoy time together. Neighbors are coming out onto porches, into gardens and it seems that just like the tulips that are blooming, so are Springwells Village and Mexicantown in Southwest Detroit!
Some of the streets that were blocked off formed a sort of festival with music, food and just huge amounts of people! (and it looks like I was photo bombed with this one!)
Some of the surprises- Mechanical Bull! Sadly it was pretty pricey, so I was not up to it, but hey check it out this guys was (looks like the bull won this one)
It is not everyday that you see horses coming down Vernor, but this was the beginning of the parade!
