Hola friends! What is Cinco de Mayo? OK, let me clear this up. Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a celebration held on May 5th. It is celebrated in the US and regionally in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Publa) Today in America the date is observed as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th 1862. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day! (Which is the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico) It’s pronounced El dia de la independencia, and is held on September 16th. See I’m not just a pretty face, I know things! OH who are we kidding Cinco de Drinko is a day to party!
