Historical Venice Cinco de Mayo Parade and Festival. Photo booth by Venice Paparazzi

Cinco de Mayo weekend in Venice was amazing!

There were car shows, parades, block parties, mariachis, Lucha Libre, ice cold cerveza, and lots of familiar, smiling faces made for an epic couple of days. And, Venice Paparazzi was on the scene and a hosted a photo booth, thank you to sponsorship from Clutch Roadhouse, Great Western Steak & Hoagie Co., and Venice Originals, to document the whole thing!

A big fist bump goes to Historical Venice Cinco de Mayo event organizer Laura Ceballos.
