And, no, it has nothing to do with Mexican Independence. It celebrates a relatively minor battle against the French in the state of Puebla, but has since become a big party day north of the border.

My guess is that Cinco de Mayo parties in SW Detroit will be for the gringos, mostly.
Most of them do in Mexico, U.S. in all over the world. Non Mexican Americans can't celebrate it and turning it into St.Patty's Day!

By the Way the State of Puebla is in Mexico where the revolution begins and ends.
