How and where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Salt Lake

As Cinco de Mayo celebrations begin this weekend, we're issuing our annual PSA advising you to please not be a tool.

Catch up quick: "If you're going to celebrate, ditch the sombrero and fake mustache," Kim says.

• Also: It's not Mexican Independence Day, but the anniversary of Mexico's victory against French troops sent by Napoleon III in the 1862 Battle of Puebla.
• Outside of Puebla, the holiday is not widely celebrated in Mexico.

Context: Corporations and beer companies co-opted the day in the 1980s as a way to reach the growing U.S. Hispanic market, Axios' Russell Contreras wrote.

• Now it's best known for taco and tequila deals.

Here are some family events to mark the holiday:

• Millcreek Common's free Cinco de Mayo Fiesta is 4-10pm tomorrow.
• Enjoy a robust lineup of bands at the Salt Lake Truck Show & Music Festival starting 3pm tomorrow at the 801 Event Center. Tickets
• Draper's free Cinco de Mayo Festival runs 6-8pm Tuesday at Draper City Park.
