Cinco De Mayo, also known as the "Fifth of May", is a Mexican holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is celebrated to honor Mexican heritage and pride.
Cinco De Mayo is typically celebrated with parades, festivals, traditional Mexican music and dance performances, and delicious Mexican food and drinks. Many people also decorate their homes and streets with traditional Mexican decorations.
Some popular traditional dishes to enjoy on Cinco De Mayo include tacos, enchiladas, tamales, and guacamole. For drinks, margaritas and Mexican beer are often enjoyed. It is also common to have a variety of salsas and dips to accompany the food.
One traditional custom is the breaking of the piñata, a colorful paper mache figure filled with candies and treats. It is also common for people to wear traditional Mexican clothing, such as sombreros and ponchos, and to participate in traditional dances, such as the Jarabe Tapatio.
