Have you heard about Cinco de Mayo?...

Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a Mexican yearly celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over France, also called the Battle of Puebla, during the FrancoMexican War in 1862.

On that day the ragtag Mexican soldiers triumphed over the better-equipped European power, beating them back in an unexpected underdog victory.

Cinco de Mayo in Mexico

Within Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is primarily observed in the state of Puebla, where the unlikely victory occurred, although other parts of the country also take part in the celebration

Traditions include military parades, recreations of the Battle of Puebla, and other festive events. For many Mexicans, however, May 5 is a day like any other: It is not a federal holiday, so offices, banks and stores remain open.
