00:00.740 --> 00:02.851
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration

00:02.851 --> 00:05.018
held on May 5th which commemorates the

00:05.018 --> 00:07.073
anniversary of Mexico's victory over

00:07.073 --> 00:09.240
the second french empire at the Battle

00:09.240 --> 00:12.900
of puebla in 18 62 . Here in Massawa A

00:12.900 --> 00:15.067
lot of times you feel stuck , like you

00:15.067 --> 00:17.178
don't have anywhere to go or anything

00:17.178 --> 00:19.370
to do or you're only exposed to the

00:19.370 --> 00:21.590
japanese culture and you miss that

00:21.720 --> 00:23.887
hispanic culture that you have at home

00:23.887 --> 00:26.109
or any other culture that you're around

00:26.109 --> 00:28.331
at home . So this is the Single de Mayo

00:28.331 --> 00:30.442
block party here at the Masala Club .

00:30.442 --> 00:32.442
We are partnering with the Hispanic

00:32.442 --> 00:34.442
Heritage Committee . We are selling

00:34.442 --> 00:36.442
authentic Mexican cuisine . We have

00:36.442 --> 00:38.164
live entertainment , games and

00:38.164 --> 00:40.053
activities , H . B . B . S bounce

00:40.053 --> 00:42.170
houses face painting . So it's like a

00:42.170 --> 00:45.070
big fun fiesta . It's a beautiful sunny

00:45.070 --> 00:47.292
day outside . So we're hoping the whole

00:47.292 --> 00:49.514
community comes out and has a good time

00:49.514 --> 00:51.681
and we're hoping to eventually do more

00:51.681 --> 00:53.737
events to get all types of diversity

00:53.737 --> 00:55.792
and culture involved here at Massawa
