Instead of taking blindfolded pi\u00f1ata swings at some Cinco de Mayo plans this year, why not let the Genie take care of the party? With that being said, if you came here looking for five reasons to check out the fest, turn around now. This is not an article detailing five of anything\u2026 There are CINCO reasons baby!<\/p>\n

\"Cinco<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re 100% Mexican, have a just a little Mexican in you, or you met a Mexican guy once at a party, Cinco de Mayo is a huge cause for celebration. To educate you a bit, many believe the holiday to be the Mexican Independence Day, though it is in fact a celebration of the Mexican army\u2019s unlikely victory in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Actual Mexican Independence Day is September 16th<\/sup>. Now you can drop a bit of knowledge on your friends when you\u2019re not stuffing your face with tacos. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

There is a large Cinco de Mayo fest that takes place in Little Village, which many consider being the heart of Spanish-speaking culture in Chicago. If you were ever looking to truly celebrate the holiday in a traditional and insanely fun fashion, look no further. Here are the Cinco reasons to attend!<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s Three Days Long!<\/h2>\n

While it doesn\u2019t actually take place on the fifth, I mean cinco (excuse me), of May\u2014the fest encompasses the entire weekend before the holiday. This means two things: you still don\u2019t have an excuse to get our of your Aunt\u2019s The Voice<\/em> themed fiesta on Tuesday, but you now have weekend plans. Whether or not that\u2019s a fair tradeoff remains to be seen\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Kid-Friendly
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Cinco de Mayo fest comes equipped with arts & crafts, pony rides, Radio Disney, and a carnival. We probably should have spread that info out over more than one sentence, but we figured we\u2019d get right to the point for you. No sense in beating around the bush!<\/p>\n

This is also a great way to introduce your children to the traditional Mexican culture. They\u2019ll be exposed to the food, dance, music, dress, and all of the other Mexican customs. Maybe after that they\u2019ll learn how cheap and inauthentic Taco Bell really is? We can dream can\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

The Entertainment
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We know we mentioned Radio Disney for the children, but there are plenty of live performances for adults too. You\u2019re going to see the things you expected: mariachi bands, salsa music, and dancing\u2014but you\u2019re also going to see some DJs and more modern artists. The entertainment goes on throughout the day, so you can check back in to relax and soak in the tunes whenever you see fit.<\/p>\n

The Food
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yeah, Chipotle is great, but nothing<\/em> beats authentic Mexican cuisine. Since this is the pinnacle of Mexican celebrations in Chicago, there\u2019s sure to be more amazing dishes than you can handle. Outside of the usual tacos and quesadillas, there\u2019s going to be flan, churros, chorizo, empanadas, flautas, and tamales. If you\u2019re a foodie, or just someone who loves to eat (like us), this is about as close to heaven as you\u2019re going to get.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll Get the Whole Shebang
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve mentioned the food and live entertainment, but really this fest offers more than that and brings it all together seamlessly. At the end of the three days, the event is capped off by a parade, featuring (you guessed it) traditional Mexican themed costumes, dances, etc. Combine that with the carnival and this three-day fest is really just a compilation of things to love. And really, what better place to celebrate?<\/p>\n

Well, Mexico\u2026 that would definitely be a better place.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a realistic option for most of us though, and this is the next best thing. Cinco de Mayo is one of the biggest celebrations of Mexican culture in the Midwest, and this is the biggest festival you\u2019ll be able to find in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The fest takes place in Little Village from May 1st<\/sup>-3rd<\/sup>. Get more info here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
