Cinco de Mayo
Family & Teacher Resources for Fun-tastic Learning
Celebrated May 5th every year. Cinco de mayo literally translates from Spanish to English as "5 of May." Despite what most people think, Cinco de mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (that happens later in the year). The holiday commemorates Mexican victory over France at the Battle of Pueblo. In the USA, Cinco de mayo has become a celebration of Mexican heritage where the holiday is arguably more significant than in Mexico itself.
