MANCHESTER, NH – Families in Transition (FIT), a homeless services provider based in Manchester, Concord, and Dover, is bringing back their signature Cinco de Mayo celebration fundraising event. The celebration will include dinner, live entertainment by the Michael Vincent Band, dancing, a live auction, and FIT’s Game of Chance Cactus on Friday, May 5, in Manchester, NH.

“”When are you bringing your Cinco de Mayo event back?” Has been a reoccurring question we’ve been getting over the last few years,” said Maureen Beauregard, President and Founder of FIT. “So, we’re bringing it back, bigger and better than ever before. This event had a nearly 10-year run of it and then we took a few years off to try other events. But, our cinco event is truly unique with lots of action throughout the night to keep attendees entertained and engaged throughout the evening,” continued Beauregard. 

The Cinco de Mayo celebration will be held on Friday, May 5, at the former Namco, 140 March Ave., Manchester. General admission begins at 6:30 p.m., tickets are $50 and VIP reception begins at 5:30, tickets are $75. Event sponsorships are still available.
