Cinco de Mayo is almost here! While many of us in America appreciate the holiday as a wonderful excuse to indulge in tasty tacos and margaritas, it’s obviously about more than food and libations. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

In other words, it’s another great reason to celebrate Mexican culture. And a great time to send an instant money transfer to Mexico with Pangea’s debit-to-debit option!

If you’re in the Chicagoland area—like Team Pangea!—many restaurants and bars will be celebrating the day with food and drink specials. As for the #GoPangea team, we’ll be extending the Cinco de Mayo celebration through the weekend, along with celebrating Mother’s Day, of course!

Join us at this **FREE** two-day Cinco de Mayo festival!

When: Saturday, May 7th, noon to 11 p.m., and Sunday, May 8th, noon to 8 p.m.

Where: The Harbor’s Edge, Waukegan Harbor

What: Live music, food, and fun! ???? Featuring Sementales de Nuevo Leon, Banda Potrillos, Show infantil de Linda Lu, Eskandalozza Banda Viento, y muchos mas!

Why: Celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day!

If you come by, look for the Pangea team in the blue shirts! We can help you create your free account and send your first transfer with our mobile transfer app. Don’t forget to use promo code MOMLOVE to get $30 extra on your first transfer of $50 or more. It’s always only $4.95 to send money to Mexico—no matter what.
