So you know where you are going to go, you know what you are going to drink, but let’s dig a little bit deeper into the why’s and how’s of Cinco de Mayo in order to make this year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration the best one yet!
Why?
Cinco de Mayo is a day of celebration of Mexican culture around the world. It is a day for Mexicans and people of all cultural backgrounds to take time to celebrate Mexican culture. Many people think that Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day. However, Mexican Independence Day is on September 16th. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on May 5th because on May 5th, 1862, the Mexican Army achieved one of the greatest victories in military history. The French Army was considered to be the greatest military force in the world, and the French forces greatly outnumbered the Mexicans. However, the Mexican underdogs beat the French Army on Cinco de Mayo, the army’s first defeat in 50 years!
