Cinco de Mayo: A Little Spark of History

A symbol of unity, pride, and the triumph of the underdog

Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, when Mexican forces pulled off an underdog victory against the French in 1862. It’s a day that’s grown into a celebration of Mexican culture, pride, and heritage — especially here in the U.S.

A small win that became a big tradition.

 

“A burst of color as folklórico dancers sweep across the floor, the swirling skirt capturing the spirit of Cinco de Mayo.”
