Cinco De Mayo in Spanish means 5^th of May. May 5^th is the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the second French empire at the battle of Puebla in 1862. The Battle of Puebla symbolizes the victory against invaders, this is not the independence of Mexico.

Even though Cinco De Mayo is a significant event, it is not considered a national holiday in Mexico. Meanwhile Puebla celebrates the festivities all month long. Cinco De Mayo is celebrated each year with parades, parties, music and traditional dancing and food.
