History of Cinco de Mayo

May 4, 2012

Did you know that Cinco de Mayo was actually invented here in America? In Mexico, May 5^th is like any other ordinary day…not big parties like Americans celebrate. The fifth of May commemorates the Mexican Army’s 1862 victory over France at the battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).

Here in the United States, May fifth has evolved into the most anticipated celebration of Mexican culture, traditions and heritage. The celebrations are particularly large in areas with a bigger amount of Mexican-American population.

Cinco de Mayo traditions include: Parades, Mariachi Music, Street Festivals and of course the Restaurant/Bar scene in towns across America. What is most important to remember on any occasion or holiday is to:

Be Safe

Do NOT Drink and Drive

Have Fun!!!
