Cinco de Mayo celebration at Market Square canceled in abrupt post by City of San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO – Market Square’s Cinco de Mayo celebration was cancelled, according to an abrupt post made by the City of San Antonio.

The city’s Facebook page promoted the Tuesday event in a post on Sunday, but later updated it to say the event was canceled.

Then, before noon Monday, the post was updated again to say it had not been canceled, but replaced by a piñata drop that took place Sunday afternoon.

The post said it was supposed to take place between 5 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, and feature traditional folklórico dancing, mariachi music, food and vendors.

No reason has yet been provided for the change in plans.

KSAT 12 News has asked city officials for an explanation, but the city has yet to respond to the request.

This is a developing story. Check back for more updates.
