Celebrating Cinco de Mayo

Did you know that CINCO DE MAYO is not a major holiday in Mexico? It does not celebrate national independence, but rather, commemorates a regional military victory (the 1862 Battle of Puebla) during the Mecian-Franco War. While significant in Puebla, it is not a federal holiday, and most of Mexico treats it as a minor event.

The holiday became widely celebrated in the United States, especially from the 1960s onward, often as a celebration of Mexican-American heritage.

We’re celebrating with homemade salsa and guacamole . . . the staples in our SALSA & GUACAMOLE CHALLENGE. How are you celebrating?
