Cinco de Mayo begins on May 5, and often lasts for an entire week. Families of Mexican heritage gather with friends to participate in the parades, festivals, music, dancing, and of course, the food, and drinks that represent the Mexican culture and customs that are unique to Mexico.

This is a great time to really enjoy the food and festivities, but also a time to become more knowledgeable and better understand the history and culture of our fellow Mexican American as well as that of our neighbor, Mexico.
