| Cinco de Mayo |
Date: May 3 Time: 8:30pm Venue: Northgate Lions Senior Centre (7524 109 Ave) |
|
Dance to X-Banda and the music of DJ Pachuco. There will be a Mariachi band too. Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the Mexican defeat of the French army at the Battle of Puebla. It is not a celebration of Mexican independence. The celebration of Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Latin American self-sufficiency and strength in the face of foreign intervention. The defeat of the French at Puebla by a hopelessly under-equiped and outnumbered Mexican army inspired nationalist spirit in the new Mexican Republic, and told the European powers that Latin American freedom was a reality.
