Celebrate Cinco de Mayo
March 31st 2006
Q. What promotions and ticket sales strategies are being implemented in conjunction with celebrating Cinco de Mayo?
A. Cinco de Mayo, which means fifth of May and is a national holiday in Mexico, commemorates the Battle of Pueblo (May 5, 1862) and celebration – or Fiesta! – traditionally includes food, fun, music and dancing.
College and professional baseball teams, softball teams and other organized sports teams have created ways to commemorative Cinco de Mayo, and many other sports organizations have created a number of successful cultural marketing programs and initiatives.
