Location: CA, USA

I have some neighbors who regularly have a huge bash lasting all night long - it’s happened every Cinco de Mayo for nearly a decade.

This year - nothing.

The whole town is quiet. This used to be one of the noisiest days of the year. Is anyone else noticing this in their community?

    I was in Mexico for Cinco last year and they didn’t seem to give a shit. I asked if anything special was going on and they just laughed and said no.

      Yeah it seems to be more of a Mexican-American thing. Also it has become sort of a Hallmark Holiday in the US, meaning the significance is amplified by marketing.

      I mean the weather is usually beautiful on May 5, so any excuse to have a party.
