Okay, so in Mexico, this isn’t the mega-holiday it is in the US. But it’s still a fantastic story about a ragtag army beating the French. It’s mostly celebrated big in the state of Puebla, with epic battle reenactments.
Think of it as a day to celebrate the underdog. Plus, it’s a perfect excuse to grab some tacos and remind your friends that this is the real story, not just a beer commercial.
