Ramona Chamber of Commerce: Tacos, Beer, Music, and Bulls

Heather McGhee • May 10, 2024

Last weekend, the Ramona Chamber of Commerce organized a Cinco de Mayo celebration full of festive spirit and activities.

The Ramona Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with Rancho La Guadalupe Promotions, orchestrated a vibrant celebration honoring Mexican culture last Saturday at the Ramona rodeo grounds.


Led by Event Chair Kevin Justice, a dedicated team of volunteers, including Office Manager Laura Leeman and Social Media Manager Cindy Keiser, worked tirelessly to bring this event to life. Their meticulous coordination ensured a seamless experience for attendees and volunteers alike.


The festivities featured an array of offerings, including refreshing drinks, food trucks serving mouthwatering tacos and other Mexican delicacies, artisanal crafts and attire, and entertainment such as face painting. The band, adorned in dazzling purple attire, serenaded the crowd with beloved Mexican tunes and then turned up the tempo while skilled bull riders captivated audiences with their performances.

A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers whose dedication and hard work made this outstanding Cinco de Mayo celebration possible.
