MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Here are Saturday's must-do events, covered by Rachel Slavik and Mike Augustyniak on WCCO Saturday Morning!

1. Enjoy this beautiful weekend with a river boat cruise on the Mississippi River. Both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, there are 90-minute tours that take you by sights like Pig Eye's Cave, St. Paul High Bridge and Pike Island. Tours are at 2:30 p.m. and cost $18 for adults.

2. Forget what the calendar says -- St. Paul is celebrating Cinco de Mayo Saturday! There is a parade at 10 a.m., live entertainment, car-truck-and bike show and a jalapeno eating contest. The fun is all along the city's west side along Cesar Chavez Street. The festival is free.
