When is Cinco de Mayo celebrated?
3 Answers
The holiday is celebrated on May 5th each year.
Please note that this is not Mexico's Independence Day. Rather, the holiday commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
I have a couple of related questions:
- In what year was the War of 1812 fought?
- Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?
may 5th. "cinco de mayo" means "the 5th of May"
