Most Americans know Cinco de Mayo as a day to party, have a few beers (cervezas) or margaritas, and celebrate Mexican heritage and pride. However, it’s important to note that this holiday sees very little celebration in Mexico, except perhaps in the Mexican state of Puebla, and of course, at a few of the all inclusive resorts that cater to many American tourists. Cinco de Mayo does, however, celebrate the connection between Mexican and American history and culture.
