Cinco de Mayo (May 5th)
Mexican Independence Day (Sept 16th)
Mexican Revolution (Nov 20)

As many of you know... I'm Canadian, not Mexican. But I know how tough it can be to find stuff on "non-U.S. holidays" so I thought I'd try to put a few pages together for Cinco de Mayo.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure what crafts I've made will be the best for Cinco de Mayo, Mexican Independence Day or the Mexican Revolution (it's hard to truly get the flavour of a holiday from books). If any viewers have thoughts on "best crafts" to recommend for the day, please let me know know and I'll make note of them on this page.

One of our Mexican viewers wrote to us with some information about Mexican customs and holidays. Click here to read what Guadalupe had to say.

Mexicans have a celebration called Cinco de Mayo every May 5th (Cinco de Mayo means the fifth of May). Click here to learn more about the origins of Cinco de Mayo.
