The design for the 2018 Cinco de Mayo – West Side St. Paul festival button was revealed Monday night. Artist John Kocon from Ham Lake submitted the winning design and received a $150 cash prize.

Frank Cruz, who has lived in West Side St. Paul since he was 2 and raised seven children there, was named grand marshal for the celebration. He has attended every Cinco de Mayo — West Side Saint Paul festival since its inception, marching in the parade with different groups and spent 13 years as a color guard.

The Cinco de Mayo festival will be May 5 along Cesar Chavez Street in St. Paul from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. St. Paul’s Cinco de Mayo festival is the largest Hispanic/Latino event in the state of Minnesota and has been celebrated for more than 30 years.
