- Thread starter Vern_in_IL
- Start date
Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The day, which falls on Friday, May 5 in 2023, is also known as Battle of Puebla Day. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.

No different than the made-up holidays that greeting card companies have created.

Yup. I heard we can thank Corona for the huge celebration of cinco de mayo on the North side of the border.

Also 4/20 will probably be a big holiday as soon as they can actually sell legal marijuana here.

Supposedly just a few months away for Ohioans that partake (or want to "legally").
Use it or lose it!
