15 - Great Cinco de Mayo Celebration Ideas & Recipes

Today I'm sharing 15 ideas to make your Cinco De Mayo festivities a bit more colorful and tasty.


A piece of Cinco De Mayo History:
Cinco de Mayo - or the fifth of May - commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).  A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-America populations.


And according to Mr. Lopez (aka: the Hubby) Americans made this holiday up just so we had a reason to have a party!  Sounds good to me!  Tacos & Margaritas for everyone!
