Cinco de Mayo

Often mistaken as Mexico's Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo is in honor of a group of Mexican peasants, who with the help of some Americans, fought 5,000 French soldiers and won!

In celebration of this day, you'll learn the history behind the Holiday and get to share in some Mexican fun. So, get up and join the celebration.
