The Tamal y Mas Fiesta was held on Saturday on Broadway in downtown Silver City. People lined up for tamales and other Mexican dishes, such as burritos. Vendors and non-profits also lined the street to sell their wares and promote their services. Several vintage autos were in the center of the street. Donations were also accepted for Toys for Tots.
