I get the feeling you want to go to a culturally relevant, authentic and sensitive 5 de Mayo event, because you’re awesome and respectful like that. Well, here ya go.
PS- Did you know the Battle of Puebla, which is celebrated on 5 de Mayo, really helped the US at the time, as the French could have used Mexico as a base in the Americas to push their powers? AND, did you know Zaragoza, the leader of the Battle of Puebla, was from Texas?
