What is Cinco de Mayo and Why is it Celebrated Worldwide?
Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. While the victory was relatively minor in the grand scheme of the Franco-Mexican War, it became a symbol of Mexican resilience and patriotism. Cinco de Mayo celebrations in Mexico typically involve parades, music, and food.
However, the holiday has also gained popularity around the world as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a widely celebrated holiday, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. It’s a day to enjoy traditional Mexican food and drink, listen to music, and celebrate the country’s rich cultural heritage.
