Pleasanton Cinco De Mayo Festival (5-7-2014)

On 5-7-2014, Pleasanton, CA hosted the 2014 Cinco De Mayo Festival in downtown. I attended the event and was able to get some street photography type shots from the event. It was really fun with all the music, food, and (the best part) free swag! :) I hope you enjoy viewing these shots. Hope you all had a wonderful Cinco De Mayo. Please note this blog post is a bit longer than my usual blog posts, so it might take a big longer to load if you are on a slower internet connection.

Message from the Photographer: Since this event took place recently, I will take a short break from the China photos to share this. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos. :)
