Cinco de Mayo is one of the most popular holidays of the year here in Maricopa County… the weather is perfect, school is ending for most colleges and universities, and we have some of the best bars and Mexican food in the USA. But if you are planning on having a few cervezas or margaritas this holiday weekend DO NOT drive. When you are done partyingmake sure you have a designated driver or use Uber, Lyft, or a taxi. Not driving will not only keep you and other Valley residents safe but it will stop you from becoming a statistic of this year’s Cinco de Mayo DUI Task Force.
