Thursday is Cinco de Mayo, and I’ve been checking the internets to find the goings-on in Bend, but like last year information is a bit sparse. So if you know of something going on that I missed here, leave a note in the comments.

Amalia’s is having what they’re calling the “largest Cinco de Mayo party in the state“: they are closing Wall Street between Oregon and Minnesota Avenues and having a block party with a live music stage. It’s free to attend and starts at 4:30; the live music lineup is:

• 4:30: Rubblebucket
• 6:30: Todd Haaby 7 Solo Via
• Headliner (8:30 to 10): Ozomatli

Looks like they’re partnered with C3 Events, which has more details on their page.
