Watch: Rancho Days Fiesta is Cultural Feast

There's lots to see, do and hear at the annual event, which brought out a larger crowd than expected to Lake Forest's Heritage Hill Park on Cinco de Mayo.

About 600 peope coursed through Heritage Hill Park on Cinco de Mayo as part of the Rancho Days Fiesta on Sunday.

The cultural event celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Serrano Adobe, as young and old alike were able to tour it and other buildings on the site, including the El Toro Grammar School. 

There was plenty to hear, see and do, including making adobe bricks—which seemed especially popular with young boys—as well as basketweaving, butter churning and other skills relevant to the 1850s.
