On May 5, 1862, the Mexican army won one of the most improbable military victories in history, over Napoleon’s French forces at the Battle of Puebla. Over 150 years later, Cinco De Mayo is still celebrated across North America, treated as not only a remembrance of Mexican heritage but also a chance to get out with your friends and enjoy some good old springtime camaraderie. In a few short weeks, we invite you to come and take in the festivities at some of the coolest 2018 Cinco De Mayo Events in Grand Junction CO!
