During a recent government meeting, officials celebrated the successful integration of Hispanic culture into Carson City through a new mural, which will be featured prominently during the upcoming festival in September. Plans for Cinco de Mayo 2025 were also discussed, with proposals for banners along Carson Street and a new billboard to promote events. The city aims to enhance bilingual advertising efforts, utilizing local radio stations and press releases to reach a broader audience.

The core committee decided to centralize festival activities at the Brewery Arts Center (BAC), where a two-day event will feature a wine walk, food trucks, kids' activities, and various entertainment options, including DJs and Mariachi performances. This approach aims to create a more cohesive experience for attendees.

Additionally, highlights from the recent Mark Twain Days were shared, showcasing a successful turnout with over 100 participants in various workshops and events. The collaboration with local institutions, such as the Nevada State Museum and the historic Nevada prison, contributed to the event's success, with many activities selling out. Overall, the meeting underscored the community's commitment to cultural celebration and engagement through well-organized events.
