Cinco De Mayo is here, and there's no better way to celebrate than by indulging in some delicious tacos while exploring the vibrant city of Beloit! But before we dive into the taco goodness, let's take a moment to understand the significance of this festive day.

Cinco De Mayo, which translates to the fifth of May, commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It has since evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, not only in Mexico but also in the United States and other parts of the world.

In Beloit, the celebration goes beyond just a day of festivities. Visit Beloit, the city's tourism organization, has created an exciting activity called the Beloit & Beyond trails, which offer a unique way to experience the city's bars, restaurants, cafes, and outdoor public art.
