About ‘Cinco de Mayo’
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is a holiday that celebrates the Mexican victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. On this date, the Mexican army, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, defeated a much larger and better-equipped French force near the city of Puebla.
In Mexico it is mostly observed in the state of Puebla, with parades, reenactments, and cultural events. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a widely celebrated cultural holiday, especially in areas with large Mexican-American communities. It’s about celebrating Mexican culture, heritage, food, music, and pride. Celebrations include mariachi bands, tacos, folklórico dancing, and colourful festivals.
