No, it's not Mexico's Independence Day (that's Sept. 16), but it is a national holiday in Mexico that commemorates the victory of the Battle of Puebla. One of the biggest observances in the Big Country is right here in Abilene at St. Vincent Pallotti Catholic Church. The three-day festival will include food, games, an outdoor flea market, a softball tournament and plenty of entertainment, such as a performance by the Ballet Folklorico (pictured). Each spring since 1982, members of St. Vincent church have hosted a Cinco de Mayo celebration.
