Cinco de Cuatro
The 5th of May, better known as Cinco de Mayo is a holiday we are all familiar with. But we must rally to put Cinco de Mayo behind us once and for all. We must crush this awful Holiday as we know it, and embrace a new, better, stronger, earlier Holiday, the celebration of Cinco de Cuatro!
Cinco de Cuatro is a Newport Beach Holiday started in 1982 by Lucille and George Bluth. It was the perfect way to destroy all Cinco de Mayo food and decorations so that Lucille’s Hispanic staff wouldn’t take May 5th off. It was all part of the Bluth’s “war on May the 5th”.
The festival grew over the years and was eventually embraced by the Hispanic community. The annual event concludes with a boat parade called “The Festival of Lights,” a phrase the Bluths wanted to reclaim. So this year, find some Cinco de Mayo decorations and smash them to tiny bits on the REAL Holiday of Cinco de Cuatro!
Happy Cinco de Cuatro to all and to all a Good night!
