What is Cinco de Mayo?

In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is not celebrated as a holiday, but rather remembered as a historic event: the Mexican army’s victory over French forces in the Battle of Puebla. Despite being outnumbered, Mexican troops led by Ignacio Zaragoza defeated the French army in the town of Puebla de Los Ángeles during the French intervention. The French retreat marked a significant triumph for Mexico, symbolizing the country’s determination to defend its sovereignty against a foreign power.

Why is Cinco de Mayo celebrated in the United States?

The first Cinco de Mayo celebration in the U.S. took place in 1863, organized by Mexican residents in California who wished to commemorate the historic victory. At the time, Americans were concerned about French support for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

Over time, the date gained popularity, partly fueled by marketing campaigns from U.S. beer companies promoting beer consumption among Hispanic communities. Today, Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated in the U.S. with traditional Mexican dishes like guacamole, tacos, and enchiladas—accompanied, of course, by beer.
