Cinco de Mayo Party

Cinco de Mayo is a festive occasion that celebrates a great achievement in Mexican history. It was May 5, 1862 in Mexico City when a Mexican army of about 4,000 defeated an elaborate French army double their size. The defeat is a great achievement because the French army, under the leadership of Emperor Napoleon III, had never lost a battle in more than half a century. The Mexican defeat of the French army is credited for enabling the U.S. armed forces to build up their strategic power and eventually defeat them and end the Civil War. Because of its dual benefit, Cinco De Mayo is an event that many Mexicans, as well as Americans celebrate.

Mexican culture is well known for its colorful and all encompassing method of celebration. A Cinco de Mayo party would be remiss if it did not feature elements of Mexican culture. Vibrant colors of red and greed mixed with white will set the tone of the festivities. Flowers are also a must have for a Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Flowers are perfect at tables and on other pieces of furniture at the Cinco de Mayo party. Mexican music that is high-spirited is another feature of Mexican culture that can set the tone of freedom at a Cinco de Mayo party. What foods are appropriate for a Cinco de Mayo celebration? Mexican food, of course! A great idea for a family celebration is to have each family contribute a Mexican dish. The host can provide tortilla chips and salsa for guests to snack on until the main meal is served. Before dinner, the guests can enjoy dancing, singing, and sharing. A piñata is a great activity for young children.

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of pride and freedom. Lest the young forget its meaning, a moment of reflecting on the reason for celebrating Cinco de Mayo is appropriate at some point during the party.
