Best Places In Monmouth County For Cinco De Mayo Celebrations

Before we get drunk off margaritas, it's important to know why we celebrate Cinco De Mayo.

Thanks to the History Channel, here's everything you need to know...

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 Thursday, May 5 in 2022, 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.
