Food vendors will include standard hamburger, etc. choices as well as traditional Mexican and Mexican-American fare. Lawn chairs and two water bottles (0.5 liters) per person are allowed in. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the May 5, 1862 battle between outnumbered Mexican forces and an invading French army. Following a fierce battle, the smaller Mexican army successfully forced the French to retreat.
