Cinco de Mayo is observed to commemorate the Battle of Puebla which took place 1862 in Mexico. It’s mostly celebrated in the state of Puebla in Mexico with parades, re-enactments, and traditional folkloric dancing. In the United States, it’s widely celebrated by observing Mexican heritage and eating delicious Mexican food.
Today we want to encourage sellers to support their local Mexican food restaurant. You can do this by purchasing E-Gift cards through the Give and Get Local website. There are also several businesses who are offering curbside-pick up and local delivery. Other fun ideas: making your favorite recipes with your friends on virtual conference calls, reading about the history of the Battle of Puebla, or taking an online Margarita making class. Eventbrite offers several free events such as trivia, comedy shows, and mixology classes. Personally, I’ll be indulging in tacos and ordering pick up from my favorite Mexican taqueria. After all, it is Taco Tuesday so what better way to celebrate?
