Great Bend residents are used to celebrating Cinco de Mayo on a Saturday, in spite of the literal translation of the Mexican holiday’s name: Fifth of May. This week, the festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 8, but there was also a Cinco de Mayo program on May 5 at the bandshell in the courthouse square.
