Join us as we uncover the fascinating history and vibrant traditions behind Cinco de Mayo, a celebration filled with music, food, and cultural pride. Did you know this holiday honors a courageous victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862? Learn how a smaller Mexican force triumphed against all odds to inspire a legacy of hope and resilience.

We’ll explore what makes Cinco de Mayo a meaningful day, its popularity in the United States, and the rich ways it’s celebrated—from colorful parades and mariachi music to delicious foods like tacos and tamales.
