Cinco de Mayo Vs. Fourth of July

In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is kind of like our version of Fourth of July. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the day the Mexicans defeated the French army. Our Fourth of July celebrates the United States' victory against the British for independence. The United States and Mexico both celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It is a celebration of Mexican culture, food, music, beverage, and customs unique to Mexico. The Fourth of July is a celebration the includes food, music, parades in som areas, and fireworks! Several cities throughout the U.S. put on parades to celebrate Cinco de Mayo during the week following up to May 5th. Both of these holidays are important to the cultures of the United States and Mexico and make one more day in the year more enjoyable. :)
