Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* While ''Cinco de Mayo'' is rather popular and well-celebrated in the US, it has only limited recognition within its own country of origin, Mexico. Most Americans only know that it's about some sort of battle<ref>It commemorates the Battle of Puebla in 1862, when the French invasion of Mexico was temporarily stalled by a much smaller Mexican force.[[wikipedia:Battle of Puebla|You can read more here.]]</ref>, and most assume that it's the actual Mexican Independence Day, which it isn't.
* St. Patrick's Day in Ireland is a boisterous but religious holiday. Irish-Americans, however, turned it into a celebration of their unique immigrant culture. The first St Patrick's Day parade was in [[New York City]] in ''1762'', while the first in Ireland was in Dublin in 1931. Over the years it's become, like Cinco de Mayo, an excuse to throw a theme party and drink a lot. In England, St. Patrick's Day is also far more widely celebrated in England than St. George's Day, though mostly as an excuse for drinking. This can be largely attributed to the Guinness Corporation.
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
* What is Evacuation Day? If you live in Boston (but not smaller towns in Massachusetts), you'd know that it commemorates the day that the British evacuated the city. It's celebrated on March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) and kids get the day off from school. Schools are also closed on June 17 to commemorate Bunker Hill Day in the same areas of Massachusetts.
