Cinco de Mayo, or the 5th of May, is a day marked by many Mexicans as an important cultural event. It is the day of victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Pueblo. It is a day to celebrate the rich culture we share with our neighbors to the south. Host a Mexican fiesta to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
