Cinco de Mayo May 05
Puebla
Mexico
The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo has become increasingly popular along the U.S.-Mexico border and in parts of the U.S. that have a high population of people with a Mexican heritage. In these areas the holiday is a celebration of Mexican culture, of food, music, beverage and customs unique to Mexico. Puebla is often considered the gastronomic capital of Mexico. So this festival is not only about the military parade but it’s a food festival too. You can promote this festival by the link below:

Gnaoua World Music Festival May 14 - 17
Essaouira
Morocco
In a Morocco resolutely heading toward a new era and in the heart of a city whose past is laden with history and myths, the Essaouira Gnaoua and World Music Festival first saw the light in June 1998. Born from the will of a team passionate about music convinced that culture is an inalienable human right, that dialogue is the path that will lead the world to wisdom, and that the preservation of heritage in all forms is the bedrock of identity, the Festival marks on that basis an outstanding turning point in the country’s history. This 18th edition of the Gnaoua and World Music Festival, akin to previous editions, has been nevertheless conceived and organized with the same faith and commitments as in the past. Once again, world musicians will come to join Gnaoua musicians in a spirit of sharing and dialogue. Over the Festival’s editions, its notoriety has crossed borders and the world is taken by this new African Woodstock. The festival goers and the media of the five continents would stream to discover the hospitality of a country, the generosity of a city while blending into a celebration atmosphere next to none. While you are in this festival watch a lila. This ritualistic performance is a sensory overload involving music, dance, color, and the smell of incense.
