Cinco de Mayo, meaning “Fifth of May,” is a Mexican holiday that commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. While a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, it’s celebrated more widely in the United States, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations, as a day to honor Mexican culture and heritage. Many families celebrate with meals, decorations, and other family activities. Traditional Mexican cuisine, like tacos, enchiladas, and guacamole, are often featured along with drinks like margaritas. Celebrations also include parades, street fairs, and festivals with live music, dancing, and cultural performances.
