Ah, Cinco de Mayo—a time to sit back, sip a cool glass of non-alcoholic horchata and reflect on General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin’s valiant victory over the French at The Battle of Puebla back in 1862. If this doesn’t make your inner Mexi-warrior sing, rest assured, sweet gringos, and consider yourself among the honorable ranks of other modern-day partiers who also have no idea what this holiday commemorates but will find any excuse to don a giant sombrero. Whether you’re honoring the day through traditional ceremonies y cuisine or guzzling margaritas and discovering that your drunken alter-ego (strangely enough, also named Margarita) is fluent in Español, Cinco de Mayo is simply a day to celebrate! From authentic open-air fests to bar crawls, we’ve got your Cinco de Mayo celebrations covered!
