Best Cinco de Mayo Fiestas on LI!
May 3, 2022 | What To Do
Cinco de Mayo is a bit of a confusing holiday. While it commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862, Mexico doesn’t celebrate it. Many Americans often mistake it for Mexican Independence Day, which is actually on September 16th. All we know is that Cinco de Mayo is a fiesta, and several Long Island Mexican restaurants will be hosting festivities and offering specials this Thursday.
