YOUR COMMUNITY TU COMUNIDAD Celebrating 30 Years of Anaheim Children's Festival The Anaheim Children’s Festival presented by the MUZEO and City of Anaheim will be celebrated on Saturday, May 21 from 11:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pearson Park in Anaheim. The Anaheim Children's Festival is celebrating 30 years of bringing arts to the young people of Anaheim and their families. This FREE event is a unique opportunity to celebrate the arts and to engage children, parents and everyone in the arts. The event was originally brought to Anaheim by the Anaheim Arts Council and under the guidance of one of Anaheim's own, Julie Mayer. The Council was an active part of the Anaheim Community and identified a need to bring drawing, dancing, and more to Anaheim's young people. Over the years that need has grown even more. With the overload of video games and virtual experiences, the Anaheim Children's Festival has stayed true to engaging children exclusively in art fun—dancing, drawing, music, and more. Through the efforts of numerous non-profit organizations, City services, and local entertainers and artists (all committed to their community), this FREE Festival has blossomed and provides a full afternoon of water coloring, dancing, clay sculpting, making hats, vinyl art, sketching, orchestra "petting zoos", and more. The Festival is committed to all arts and ONLY arts at this event. The MUZEO of Anaheim, Museum and Cultural Center, is the major presenter and umbrella organization for the Anaheim Children's Festival. MUZEO is housed in a true "work of art"—the Carnegie Building in downtown Anaheim. The MUZEO works together with over 50 organizations and city departments who bring art projects to Pearson Park and encouraging participants and art lovers to "try art". To engage the children, volunteers from local business and organizations welcome the children and sit down with them. Our local high school students and non-profit organizations provide young volunteers to help the younger children pick up a paintbrush or a marking pen.

Youth in Government 2022 For the past six decades, the City of Anaheim has successfully hosted Youth in Government Day. On Wednesday, February 23, 2022, the Anaheim Community Services Departments hosted over 45 students from 14 Anaheim area High Schools. Students were provided a firsthand look at how the City of Anaheim supported residents throughout the COVID -19 Pandemic. This year’s theme for Youth in Government Day was “Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic - What role has local government played in response to the pandemic?” Students were provided with virtual presentations that shared how the City of Anaheim provided resources and service to Anaheim residents. Students then broke out into breakout rooms to discuss how the City of Anaheim could continue supporting its residents.

Our community is proud to have hosted the 50th Annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta! One of Orange County’s oldest celebrations of Mexican culture, the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta began with a small group of dedicated parents and educators from Fremont Hr. High and Anaheim High School. While this event continues to grow in size and scope, it remains a family affair at heart. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta is still managed by the family of founder Joel A. Guerena, despite his passing in 1997. The extended Guerena family, alongside countless volunteers, spend hundreds of hours preparing for this four-day carnival, now a staple of Anaheim cultural inclusion. Four decades later, this event has transformed from a few families with booths, to a vibrant festival featuring amusement park rides and an entertainment stage for folklorico, maricahi, and other popular music groups.
The 50th Annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta offers a variety of activities, scholarship awards, and performances for the entire family to enjoy. The Fiesta Soccer Tournament provides several local soccer clubs the chance to compete to be the Fiesta Champion. The Folklorico competition also allows talented performers to win cash prizes. This year the Fiesta boasts an impressive entertainment lineup, featuring performances by Groupo Control and Los Reyes De La Cumbia. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta continues to be a time where family and friends can come together to celebrate and create new memories together. Volunteers make this event possible, and new volunteers are always welcome. If you would like to get involved, or for more event information, visit www.fiestaunited.org.
