Are there any events in Mexico in May?
You might find it surprising to know that Cinco de Mayo is not as widely celebrated in Mexico as it is in the United States. While it is a public holiday, the festivities are primarily centered in the state of Puebla. May 5th commemorates the historic battle of 1862 that occurred in Puebla, where the Mexican army triumphed over French forces. In Puebla, the celebrations are dedicated to recreating the spirit of that significant battle.
Puerto Vallarta has earned its well-deserved reputation as one of Mexico’s most inclusive and gay-friendly destinations. The city hosts an annual Pride event in May, that joyfully celebrates LGBT culture and its welcoming atmosphere. The festivities include music festivals, beach parties, fashion shows, a mass commitment ceremony, and a range of activities held in various bars and clubs. It draws people from all walks of life to revel in the spirit of unity and acceptance.
