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?

    Mexican here. Cinco de Mayo commerates the Battle of Puebla. It’s widely celebrated in the United States and not celebrated here. It’s really more a Mexican-American thing.

    There are 32 states down here and only one, Puebla itself, has the day off. As a resident of one of the other 31 states, it literally was a normal day at work for me.
