Cinco de Mayo
Sun May 5 12:00 pm, Roscoe IL, 61073
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "the fifth of May") commemorates the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. Contrary to popular belief, it's not Mexican Independence Day - that's September 16. To get in the Mexican mood, check out Fiesta Cancun in Roscoe, Dos Amigos Taqueria or La Michoacana Tropical Oasis in South Beloit, or a food truck near you.
