Cinco de Mayo is next Monday, the Fifth of May. It celebrates the defeat of the French at the Battle of Puebla in Mexico. Today, when Cinco de Mayo is observed you can find parades, festivals, mariachi music, dancing, and lots of food.
Check your local event guides for a list of festivities taking place throughout the weekend to get you into the spirit of celebration. What better way to understand the Mexican culture than through a fiesta of food, family, friendship, freedom, and fun?
