Cinco de Mayo Costumes

At HalloweenMart, you can find everything you need to create your perfect Cinco de Mayo costume. You may think that all you need is a sombrero but if you want to celebrate Mexican freedom and independence, you’ve got to go just a little bit farther. After all, a great costume is in the accessories and attention to detail. A detail many people do not realize is that Cinco de Mayo is not "Mexican Independence Day," which is actually September 16. The holiday actually commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the Mexican General Sequin. Even if a lot of people get the reason to celebrate wrong, its great to celebrate by dressing up in an awesome Cinco de Mayo costume, and partying until Seis de Mayo! If you have any questions about how to make your Cinco de Mayo celebration special, don’t hesitate to call us. We also carry a huge selection of serapes, Mexican Shooter Girl accessories, tequila bottle costumes, chili pepper costumes, and even big moustaches! Viva Mexico!
