Celebrated on May 5th annually, the Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862. The holiday has evolved in a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage especially in areas with vast Mexican-American populations. During the 60’s Chicano activists have raised awareness of the holiday seeing they identified with the victory over European invaders during the Battle of Puebla.

In the USA, May 5 is celebrated as Cinco de Mayo with food and drink but perhaps without any known connection to real events. In reality, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of Mexico over the French at the Battle of Puebla.
