Metro track maintenance, cloudy skies, swampy weather and rain drops didn't seem to stop people from trickling into and staying at this year's Curbside Cookoff at RFK Stadium.

Aptly called "Trucko de Mayo," the event had many patrons evoke the spirit of Cinco of Mayo by making sombreros the accessory of the day.
