What Is Cinco de Mayo?
Cinco de Mayo, aka May 5, marks the day in 1862 when the Mexican army conquered France at the Battle of Puebla. It is not, as most think, Mexico’s Independence Day, which falls on September 16. To the surprise of many, the day is actually more popular in the U.S. than in Mexico.
Our research shows that in Mexico, most of the honoring occurs in Puebla with limited recognition elsewhere. But in America, Cinco de Mayo is an annual event in which friends gather and devour tacos, fajitas, salsa and margaritas galore.
