At Thorman Elementary, Cinco de Mayo came a day early.
Tustin Parks and Recreation marked the annual Mexican-American festival on Friday, May 4, with a party featuring traditional food, dance and music.
A mariachi band and colorfully costumed folkloric dancers provided lively entertainment.
And then, everyone could celebrate all over again the very next day.
