DAVENPORT, Iowa — The annual Cinco de Mayo celebration at Ganzo's Mexican Food & Cantina in Davenport is returning on May 1. The long-running event drew nearly 6,000 people during its last in-person party back in 2019, and organizers expect it to be one of the largest events to take place in the region since the pandemic began.
"The main thing was just getting together," said Pat Puente, Owner of Ganzo's. "Like the community coming back out, getting together, talking, hanging out together. Doing the run in the morning, coming for some of the activities and live bands. We basically just want to hang out... it was a long year for everybody. We wanted to get back to normal."
