May 5th is Cinco De Mayo!


Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for the "fifth” of May" and is celebrated primarily in the US and regionally in Mexico. It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate and celebrate the freedom and democracy granted in the first years of the American Civil War.  Today the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. If you are looking to celebrate Cinco de Mayo look no further.
