Best Places To Celebrate Cinco de Mayo In Detroit

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration held in Detroit and other cities across the United States each year on the 5th of May. It is observed to commemorate freedom and democracy from French forces in the Mexican state of Puebla. This is the time to honor Mexican-American culture. The festivities in Detroit are lively, and crowds take to the streets to enjoy the fiesta, which occurs throughout the day. The Detroit area has the largest Mexican population in Michigan, so it’s no surprise that Southwest Detroit, often referred to as Mexicantown, has an array of places to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

The most distinctive event in Detroit every May is the Cinco de Mayo Parade, which is in its 48th year. This year, the parade will be held at noon on Sunday, May 6, 2012. Spectators line-up for this exciting tradition on a 3.1 mile stretch of Vernor Highway to watch and take part in the grand Cinco de Mayo tradition.

Los Galanes hosts the best Cinco de Mayo celebration in Detroit, hands down. The gigantic restaurant and bar hosts a street party each year, which draws major crowds. This full-on extravaganza includes live entertainment and even livelier dancing–there is even a dance floor for willing participants. The abundant outdoor seating offered is an excellent place to relax for a bit and people watch while sipping on a refreshing tequila-infused cocktail.

Armando’s often features a lively crowd, and Cinco de Mayo is certainly no exception. If you are out until the wee hours, this a great spot to hit for some after-party food, because the restaurant is open late. Armando’s is sure to bustling with activity until they close at 4 a.m. The atmosphere is festive, and Armando’s has been known to serve red and green tortilla chips for the Cinco de Mayo holiday, adding a nice touch and some much needed food to the bellies of those who may have had one to many margaritas.

Colin Meister Promotion

Congratulations to Colin Meister on his promotion!

Modern is excited to announce another promotion to the team! Mr. Meister started here just weeks ago and now he is already earning his ETT title in our company. Colin got the chance to go on a business trip last week with a couple of the other executives at Modern and learned a lot of new knowledge to help him with his entrepreneur mindset. Colin's mindset is very sport-like so he knew that there was no stopping him and he was going to go all the way with more promotions to come. He has definitely brought a new excitement to our office and we are extremely excited to see the new ideas he has to bring.

Prencis Chism Promotion!

Congratulations are in order to Prencis Chism on her wonderful promotion. 

The one thing that has really helped Prencis Chism get her to her promotion was thinking positively. With a positive attitude, we experience more of a pleasant feeling that brings energy, brightness, and happiness to our eyes as well as success. So Prencis definitely shined through her days since she started just weeks ago. Positive thinking is contagious and Prencis has definitely brought her energy into our office by affecting the people who she would meet in one way or another. For her, it happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through words, thoughts and feelings, and through body language. 

We are all so proud of you! 

Promotion Time!

Congrats goes to MaKenna on her promotion! MaKenna was born and raised in Grayling, Michigan. She graduated Grayling High School then to Lawrence Technological University and continued her education at Oakland Community College. Some of Miss. MaKenna's favorite things are the color orange, to read, to cook, and to play team sports. Great job on your hard work lady, you deserve the great things in life for all the time and effort you put into the different tasks you want to acheive.

Executive of the Week

Congrats to Joshua Jordan for being the top gentlemen this week by motivating others with his daily morning quotes which he posts onto our GroupMe chats where the office all stay connected in. 

"Successful people are givers and not takers of positive energy. My point is, if you maintain a positive 'tude its transferable to other people. Staying positive will get you to your goals a lot quicker. This is a way to success, and success should be your only option. #Jordan23"

Rachel V. Promotion

Congrats Rachel Valice!

We are ecstatic to announce Rachel’s promotion. She started less than a couple of weeks ago and now she is already promoted to an Executive Trainer.
