May 5 is (duh!) Cinco de Mayo and we are so excited about celebrating with some classic traditions including parades, mariachi music, street festivals and, of course, tequila! Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican heritage and culture and honors the Mexican victory over France in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War which, in fact, didn’t end until 1867. We love that Cinco de Mayo is becoming more inclusive and its celebration extends further, as Mexican-Americans embrace their history and one another for such an awesome day.
