¡FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO!

Cinco de mayo, or the fifth of May, commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music, parties, and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States. (adapted from: www.history.com)
