Friday-Cinco de Mayo-May 5

SAVE THE DATE: Friday-The Mexican Army won an unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 so everybody celebrates “Cinco de Mayo”! This is probably the holiday most often celebrated that no one understands! Literally translated, it means “the Fifth of May”;  Salud! Cheers! This date has become filled with attention to all things Mexican, so the culture and heritage is honored with parties featuring typical cuisine, drinks (Margaritas and other Tequila drinks) and clothing.
