Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a celebration held …. on May 5! The holiday commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862.
The day is not only celebrated in Mexico, but many Mexican Americans (and others!) in the US also enjoy this cultural event, where family and friends feast on Mexican food, refresh on Magaritas, and dance to the rhythms of Mexican folk music! Ole!
