Buenas tardes, ¡Happy Campers!
This next pit-stop on the rainbow road had us camped out in Charlotte, NC for Cinco De Mayo! Plaza Midwood played host to the lively street festival; the sounds of Mariachi, Mexican Cubimo, Latinx Reggae, & so much more filtered through the air and into the souls* of everyone’s feet – even we couldn’t resist tapping along to the beat!
The food vendors were one of our favorites! There were tacos, beer, and margaritas ‘round every corner; the sights and scents of traditional Mexican cooking had our mouth’s watering! Of course you know we sampled.
They even had fun for the kiddos! An el kisosko, which is a pinata and maraca making station, provided traditional crafts and fun activities where kids could listen to songs and storytelling. The sense of home and community were permeable; it was great to see everyone of all ages enjoying themselves!
Contributing to this festival meant a lot to us; we felt privileged to take part in traditional Mexican culture! We got to learn a little, live a little, and teach a little about our favorite green plant and all the benefits it has to offer! Our spread of locally sourced gummies, blunts, and pre-rolls were a total vibe – it isn’t always about getting high- even though we’re pretty big fans of that trip to the skies. Users of hemp promote its therapeutic and holistic properties, too!
