Who doesn’t love Cinco de Mayo, many bars and restaurants have special events and it is basically an excuse for a party. And why not?
Cinco de Mayo – the 5th of May – is a day of celebration of Mexican heritage and culture in the US and around the world.
A common misconception is that Cinco de Mayo is the “Mexican Independence Day”, it is not. Cinco de Mayo is a regional holiday in Mexico, not an obligatory holiday. The national holiday is actually on September 16th.
Many places started early this year and had Cinco de Mayo parties this past weekend, but the “actual date”, is of course on Tuesday May 5th.
