What is Cinco de Mayo?
And how is it celebrated?
Cinco de Mayo is a day of celebration in Mexico as it commemorates the Mexican army’s unpredicted victory over the French soldiers in the Battle of Puebla that occurred on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo means “Fifth of May” in Spanish.
Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with parades, parties and traditional Mexican foods!
