Last weekend was the celebration of 5 de Mayo and Mother’s Day at Northline Commons.
Special guest speakers Annise Parker, Houston Mayor and Congressman Gene Green welcomed the community. Chairman of Northline Commons, Jeff J. Procell was assisting host members.
The celebration started right after 11:30 a.m. and ended around 5 p.m. in which there was entertainment for the entire family with presentations of Band ‘La Traizion’, and band ‘Grupo Enzable’; radio Disney who executed some hip-hop movements and invited kids and mothers to dance with them on stage and gave prizes to those who participated in the dancing and games.
The celebration of 5 de Mayo could not be absolute without the presentation of a ballet folklorico, a group of professional performers dancing traditional Mexican music and wearing the distinctive clothing, and the Mariachi; these last two presentations are typical in celebrating 5 de Mayo.
Some local organizations such as Houston International Chamber of Commerce, Houston Community College and Northeast Campus were providing information as well as offering their services and products to the community.
The event was well attended, people were dancing and kids were playing at the moonwalks; it ended around 5 p.m. with the presentation of the band ‘Tam y Tex’.
