Month: May 2023

Every year Mexico and Mexican culture are celebrated during the holiday of Cinco de Mayo, which in Spanish just means May 5th. 

However, many people, especially those outside of Mexico, have no idea what exactly is being celebrated on May 5, and many of those who think they know have the wrong idea.

The location of most of the Cinco de Mayo celebrations is also surprising to most people as well.

Learn more about Cinco de Mayo and the real reason for the celebration on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
