Cinco de Mayo (The 5th of May) celebrates the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). In Mexico it is a relatively minor holiday. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals.
