Tagged: Illinois, latin america, MariachiPosted on: May 7th, 2007“Grupo Alegria. It means “a group that is happy.” The appropriately named dance troupe of traditional Mexican dancers from Sterlings Latin American Social Club delighted a crowd of Cinco de Mayo revelers Saturday in downtown Dixon.
People strolled Saturday through the closed-off half block of First Street between Hennepin and Galena avenues, enjoying traditional Mexican food, mariachi music, cold drinks and, of course, the dancers in their brightly colored dresses, who were periodically the center of attention.”
