Happy Cinco de Mayo

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

The tradition of Cinco de Mayo orginated in California during the 1860s after Mexico broke away from French rule. In the USA, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a holiday where Americans embrace the Mexican culture. Most importantly, Americans and Mexican immigrants celebrate the joyous day by commemorating the events of Mexican-Americans leading to their liberation. The holiday is quite similar to the same nature of St. Patrick’s Day where individuals spend the day drinking and partying. In Los Angeles, CA a lot of parties and celebrations are thrown in the metropalitan city. People fill the streets with their children and parade and cheer for their leaders who made it possible for them to live in the land of opportunity. In our capitalist society, many advertisers seek the opportunity to promote their brands and market Mexican products Americans. We hope everyone has a safe holiday and enjoy blowing hookah tricks.
