Cinco De Mayo Festival in Charleston, SC  This year will be the second annual Cinco de Mayo festival held on May 5, 2008 at The Visitors Center Bus shed between Anne and John Streets in Charleston, SC.  Yes..."La Has" is always  "mucho bueno", but try some authentic Mexican dishes you just don't get to try everyday.  The Charleston Cinco de Mayo Festival in  South Carolina will have all that jazz along with plenty of Margaritas and Mexican beer.

  Live Latin Music by DJ Luigi Bravo of Latin Groove, live Cuban music, a Mariachi style band, along with professional salsa performances will light up Charleston's Visitors Center Bus Shed.  

  One can sit back, soaking in the Latino culture and Latin beats, while sipping' Margaritas and Mexican beer at this years Charleston Cinco de Mayo festival.

 When the party ends at the Charleston Visitors center take the celebration on to one of the bars in Charleston, SC.  The bars and restaurants in Charleston will be quite festive. 

So, grab a cerveza and "undalay undalay" to the next hot spot!
