CINCO de MAYO
Alright folks, it’s Cinco de Mayo - May 5th – the day everyone gets a free pass to become a Mexican super-fan! Get ready to don a sombrero, learn some salsa moves, or join a margarita binging marathon. Meanwhile, do you know these two spicy secrets behind this fiesta?
1. Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. May 5th 1862, was the day Mexico won France at the Battle of Puebla. Mexico’s actual Independence Day is on September 16th.
2. Cinco de Mayo is no longer just a Mexican thing – it’s gone global. Celebrations take place in far away places such as Osaka, Japan and Lagos, Nigeria. It’s Interesting to know that Cinco de Mayo is more widely celebrated in Los Angeles than in Mexico itself!
So my amigos, join me on a taco break, sip your tequila, and do a little cha-cha – Cinco de Mayo is all about celebrating unity, resilience, and success. !Salud!
