Cinco de Mayo or the 5th of May is a great time to celebrate Mexican culture and enjoy some great south of the boarder treats. In many cities, particularly in the American southwest, Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate the rich fusion of Mexican and American heritage.
The history of Cinco de Mayo encompasses a transoceanic war between the French and the Spain and while it is not Mexico’s independence day, it certainly is a key turning point in Mexico’s quest for independence.
Today, Cinco de Mayo, is a day is full of cultural events, such as music and dancing and parades with a bit of history mixed in. Americans of all ethnic backgrounds take part in the celebrations, just as they do with do St. Patrick’s Day. Cinco de Mayo is about food, culture, family and fun.
Spicy treats, crunch Nachos, zesty cheese dips, salsa and cold Corona, are all anyone needs to get into the perfect Cinco de Mayo mood. It is a great way to enjoy the ever-warming breeze of spring and mingle with friends and family. Throw in a piñata and the party will be lively and fun!
