VIVA Cinco de Mayo in Holiday Travel Directory

 

The most prominent feature of VIVA Cinco de Mayo is the OFFICIAL STATEWIDE MENUDO COOKOFF. Competitors from throughout the State of Texas venture to San Marcos to prepare their winning versions of an ageold traditional, Mexican dish MENUDO. Each team participating has hopes of being awarded the title of BEST MENUDO IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. A title, however is not all that is awarded. To the top three bowls, various trophies and cash prizes are also awarded. Menudo is not the only thing that gets judged at VIVA Cinco de Mayo. Menudo teams also have the option of entering a second competition for the Showmanship Awards. This part of the cookoff is judged solely upon a teams creativity and team spirit. The top team will be awarded a trophy and a cash prize. The downtown Parade is a VIVA Cinco de Mayo favorite. Held downtown in the beautiful historical district of San Marcos, the parade features entries from around the state and the San Marcos area. Beautiful floats, marching bands and an array of decorated vehicles are just some of the entries.
