Cinco de Mayo - or the fifth of May - commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a holiday to celebrate the Mexican culture. It is celebrated with parades and festivals across the United States and Mexico. (http://www.history.com/topics/cinco-de-mayo)
There are lots of parades and festivals held for many reasons in the United States. Tell us something interesting about a parade or festival you have seen or been to. What was the celebration? What was your favorite part?
When we have parades you can join with them and celebrate. Sometime when your at a parade they give out candy. Onetime I got to be in a parade once. Did you and who did you go with? :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I've been to is a festival. My dads friend had one at his house. It was for the Fourth of July. My favorite part was when we're were in his pool. Other one of my favorite parts was seeing the bats.
ReplyDeleteI love parades and festivals! I never got to be involved though. Maybe one day I can be involved. I hope they have fun at the parades. I think they appreciate it. :D
ReplyDeleteI saw the St. Patricks day parade 2 years ago. It is held in March near St. Patricks day. It celabrates St. Patrick. My favorite part is that they threw candy to all the people. The holiday is celebrated on the 17.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parade I have seen on TV is The christmas parade. My favorite part about it is that there is a lot of christmas songs. I also like haow there are good dancers and sinngers there.I hope somtime I get to acully see a parade in real life. This is why I like the christmas parade.
ReplyDeleteOne time when I was a little kid I went to a parade. It was a St. Patrick's Day parade. I really liked the green floats. My favorite part was when they threw candy out for everyone. That is the only parade that I remember going to.

ReplyDeleteI like to go to the Apple Harvest Festival. I like to watch the performers. I get to look at the craft stands and buy stuff. My favorite part is having apple cidar, apple ice cream, applesauce and apple sausage! It is a fun festival.
ReplyDeleteOne time when I was a little kid I went to a parade. It was the Halloween parade. They past out beeds. I got five beeds. They had a costom contest. It was fun
ReplyDeleteI never went to a parade or festival before that I remember. But I saw one on TV that looks really cool. It's called the Macy's parade. I like the Macy's parade because there are HUGE floats. I would love to go to that parade.
ReplyDeleteEaster parade I think it is the most fun. My favorit part is when people give candy and then I get to eat it. You would like it if you would go and never been there. I like it because you see parade flouts get candy and eat at a resterant. I would like to be in he parade sometime but alittle.
ReplyDeleteI have been to a festival before. Celebrating harvesting day for picking the apples. My favorite part is when you saw people cutting tress into stuff like bears and eagles. We still have apple butter that is still good. I have never tasted apple butter before but my parents love it.

ReplyDeleteLast fall I went to a parade in Dillsburg. My sister was marching with the middle school's band. It was the Halloween parade. There were people walking in costumes. Some of them were very weird. I also got funnel cake when I was there.
ReplyDeletethe party we do is sweet is birthday party it is just girls were nices dresses too and they are big party and abt of people come.
ReplyDeleteLast St.Patricks Day, I went to a parade. They wore green everything! It was cool and exciting! I wish I could go there again!
ReplyDeleteI like the Halloween parade. I liked that one because it is really cool and I get to be in it every year. The reason I get to be in it every year is because I pklay football every year and the football team gets to be in it every year. I also like getting candy in the parades. We get to ride on a imense truck. I really like parades. Thats why I like the Halloween parade.
ReplyDeleteI like the Halloween parade. It has always been a family favorite because well one we just like to see all of the people dressed up in silly costumes and two is because when my sister and I little well littler my Pop-pop was in the Halloween parade. Man, was it funny to watch your Pop-Pop in a silly costume laughing. He gave us candy and necklaces and a whole bunch of other stuff. Another reason that I like the Halloween parade is because you can just get to see people just like you dancing and singing and just having fun. I always like to get up and dance during the Halloween! It is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI have been to an Easter parade in at my Yaya's house. I liked that one because it was fun seeing all the Fire engines and tractors. We even saw a class in the back of a truck with hay in it! I also like it because someone comes around and gives us all lollipops. The people in the tractors and things like that also throw candy! The celebration was Easter, of course and it seemed all of where my Yaya lived was there. THAT"S how many people there were. I think my favorite part was being with my family, my Yaya, my Aunt Mandy and her dogs was my favorite part. I also liked watching the blinking lights of the fire trucks (without any noise,) and watching the kids go by in that truck. I could tell my brother's favorite part was the tractors and the fire trucks. I thought the Easter parade was really fun so every year we go to my Yaya's house at Easter, we always watch the parade. That was the best parade for me EVER!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite parades I go to in the summer is the 4th of July parade up in Cape Cod. I have a house up there and every year we go there. My favorite part is that the kids all get to be in the parade. We all get a scooter or a bike and we all race around the track. It is really fun. I like that part because I get to ride one of my favorite things. A bike. Also you get to race people and there is no first place prize so nobody feels bad. I think it is interesting because all the kids who ride there bikes or scooters get to decorate them with decorations for the 4th of July.It is really cool to see all the pretty decorations that 4 year olds up to 12 year olds put on there bikes and scooters. At the end you get to all go to someone house and eat icecream and have cake and just celebrate the 4th of July. That is what I like about the 4th of July parade in cape Cod.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have never been to a parade in real life but I watch parade's on TV. I watch the Thanksgiving day parade's and they are awesome! They dance and they sing and they have humungous float's! I also watch the Christmas day parade. They are awesome too! My favorite part was when they flag twirlers came in pretty outfit's came out and started twirling the flag's. My favorite part of the Thanksgiving day parade was when the big fat turkey came out and I stated getting hungry!
