The United States-Mexico Cultural and Educational Foundation in conjunction with its sister organization, the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce offers a reception to its members, partners, local authorities and business leaders to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a tradition of Mexican origins to celebrate the military victory of the Mexican army in 1862 over the French forces, which is known as the “Battle of Puebla”. This festivity has become a widespread celebration of Mexican culture in the U.S.

The reception is hosted at the USMCEF offices on Mandalay Canal. During the event we offer fajitas, margaritas, tastings of tequila, mezcal and sotol, and in recent years in partnership with Avocados from Mexico, we also offer tasting of guacamole with the “Guacart”, which is always a “big hit”! 

Guests enjoy a Mexican flavored celebration with live mariachi music, food and joyfulness.
