South Omaha’s historic Cinco de Mayo parade isn’t until next week, but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to wait to celebrate the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla.
Join the new South Omaha Immigration History Museum Friday, May 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. for an evening honoring a century of activism by South Omaha Mexican American families at the Benson Theatre, 6052 Maple St.
The event includes appearances by the Hispanic Arts Center of Omaha, community artist Linda Garcia, Mariachi Zapata, local journalist and actor Marina Rosado.
Admission is $10, or $25 with a tequila tasting.
