Special to the BulletinAs downtown Brownwood prepares to welcome back the local favorite Cinco de Mayo Celebration, a helpful schedule of events and map of the vendors has been published. Free performances will be featured inside the historic Lyric Theatre again, as well as live performances throughout the day in the streets. Cinco de Mayo is observed every year to commemorate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The day gained popularity during the 1980s and has continued to be a favorite day of festivities every year.
