Yeah i would say a good comparison would be the battle of bunker hill day. Only celebrated in the city of Puebla much at all. I was out and about today and saw absolutely nothing and half the time there are celebrations I have no idea what saint or historical person it’s for sooo yeah not a thing
If anybody's looking for a new badass way of helping u make delightfullly questionable choices this Cinco de mayo, consider #mezcal, the world's fastest growing spirit w ancient roots that survived outlaw status & remains 1 of the best artesanal & delicious treats
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the Mexican loyalists, know as Juaristas, over technically superior French forces at the Battle of Puebla.

I live in central Mexico, like Kansas City Mexico mas o menos.
No celebrations today….
