Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo 2021 is a celebration that is observed, yearly, on May 5. It is a day that commemorates the Mexican army's victory, on May 5, 1862, over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). In the United States Cinco de Mayo 2021 has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture but should not be confused with Mexico's Independence Day which is celebrated on September 16.
