Abbotsford enjoyed a taste of Mexican culture with a mariachi dinner gala held at the Abbotsford Banquet Centre on Saturday night.
The event was billed as a Cinco de Mayo celebration, and featured an authentic dinner prepared by a Mexican chef, performances by the Vancouver-based salsa dance group Mexico Vivo, a mariachi band, and a Latin DJ who kept the audience on their feet until midnight.
The event attracted about 350 people, and organizers plan to expand in future years.
