I expect to be called a racist for asking this question but I think that it's a reasonable question.
The Villages celebrates a lot of ethnic themed events. Haven't you've seen the Italian and St Patrick's Day parade in Spanish Springs? Or Tartan Day and Dyngus Day in LSL? Cinco de Mayo is at both of those squares. And don't forget Mardi Gras for a little Cajun flare. So don't act surprised at a Mexican themed celebration.
