PCJ Mon May 5: 🪇 Cinco de Mayo Jams You Can Still Catch Today

Barzarre, Dram Tree, and a full evening of flavor and sound — Cinco continues tonight.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

🌮 What Is Cinco de Mayo Anyway?

Spoiler: It’s not Mexico’s Independence Day (that’s in September). Cinco de Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla in 1862, when a way-outnumbered Mexican army pulled off a surprise win against invading French forces. Underdogs for the win.

So why the big party in the U.S.? Over time, it’s become a full-on celebration of Mexican culture, pride, and resilience — with a soundtrack of live music, great food, and (let’s be honest) a few cervezas.
