Bueno ya ves, yo soy de Nuevo México entonces I like to celebrate Cinco de Mayo cuál era originally on May 5, 1862 the victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Since I’m from the US I intercept it as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. Generally how we celebrate it in the states is: parades, parties, mariachi music, folk dancing, and traditional foods such as tacos and mole poblano, and can’t forget pozole.
