Cinco de Mayo is Actually Bigger in the U.S. Than it is in Mexico
You know it’s a good week when you get two holidays back-to-back. Obviously, yesterday being Star Wars day and today is Cinco de Mayo. Now, there are a few misconceptions about Cinco de Mayo. One is that it is the day Mexico celebrates its Independence Day. Not true. That happens on September 16. Another misconception is that Cinco de Mayo in Mexico is as big of a deal as it is in the United States. Also, not true. The reality is that Cinco de Mayo in Mexico celebrates the victory of a single battle from the mid-1800s. In the U.S. it is used as a day to celebrate Mexican culture and heritage.
