May is finally here!
Let’s celebrate Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro de Mayo just like it is Cinco de Mayo 
With Pride!
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday celebrated in the state of Puebla in Mexico and other parts of the World. The celebration includes parades and reenactments in honor of the Mexican victory over the French forces of Napoleon III of 1862. Not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day.
In the United States, the celebration of Cinco de Mayo became a way of promoting pride around Mexican heritage. The largest (and coolest) Cinco de Mayo celebrations take place in the beautiful city of Puebla, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre thanks to its preserved 16th and 17th century cathedrals, also considered Mexico’s gastronomic capital, thanks to its unique flavors.
