History of Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo does not celebrate Mexican Independence Day, as many people believe. It marks the anniversary of Mexico's “Battle of Puebla” in 1862 when a fledgling Mexican army defeated the larger, better-equipped invading French forces. Cinco de Mayo festivals throughout the United States honor this historic part of Mexican history, and also celebrate Hispanic/Latino culture and tradition.
