Sinko De Mayo

Sinko de Mayo …

Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on the 5th of May, commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16th. In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, where the historical battle took place, with military parades, reenactments, and festive gatherings. However, in the United States, this day has evolved into a widespread celebration of Mexican culture and heritage with colorful parades, traditional music, dance performances, and of course, delicious Mexican cuisine enjoyed by people of various backgrounds across the country.
