Celebrate Cinco de Mayo With Us!!!
What is Cinco de Mayo?
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration on the Fifth of May which celebrates the anniversary o fMexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Cinco de Mayo is actually more popular in the United States than in Mexico as it has become a celebration of Mexican-American culture in our country. Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the United States began in California in 1863 and have since spread across the country as a way to celebrate our Mexican-American neighbors and all of the heritage and culture they have brought to our country!
