What is Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage.
One popular way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo is by attending events such as the annual celebration hosted by Casa Rodriguez. This year, the event will take place on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. outside the restaurant at the intersection of Bryan Avenue and 24th Street. It is a great opportunity to enjoy traditional Mexican food, music, and dancing with friends and family.
Whether you are Mexican or not, Cinco de Mayo is a fun and festive holiday that provides a great opportunity to learn more about Mexican culture and history. So, come join the celebration and experience the spirit of Cinco de Mayo!
