Celebrating The 5th of May

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States.

               National Margarita Day & Tex Mex






 Today I am sharing  a few of my tablescapes from the past.

 Beautiful, colorful table set for 5th of May

  13. Thank you for sharing more about the celebration. Honestly, not living near Mexico I had not heard of Cinco de Mayo until I began blogging six years ago.
    Your tablescapes are very attractive and festive and your recipe sounds great.

  14. I didn't know this. We just do it because it is fun. Probably not so much for those guys long ago. We have margaritas, guacamole and chips, tortillas, shredded beef, pico de gallo, Mexican rice and black beans with tomatoes and garlic. My table is not so fancy, but it works.

  16. How festive~your table and recipe! I did one Cinco de Mayo party and tablescape...the table was difficult as I didn't have a lot of colorful dishes. My daughter had tons of fabric samples from design school and we cut them up for napkins. Wow! The colors were so happy!

    Thanks for a fun post, Linda!
