Fireworks. Hot dogs. Bands marching down Main Street. These are the pictures that come to many people’s minds when they think of U.S. holidays. But the United States is a vast country made up of people from many different cultures, and the celebration of holidays reflects this diversity. In the Chinatown section of San Francisco, rice and snow peas are apart of many holiday meals. In New Mexico, one might encounter chili peppers, piñatas, and Mexican music on the Fourth of July. In Hawaii,one popular way to celebrate a holiday is with a feast, or luau, which has been a Hawaiian tradition for centuries.
