Today is Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that falls on the 5th of May (and that's actually what that translates to.) Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration that commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
The holiday is celebrated by Mexicans, Mexican Americans and even people of non-Mexican heritage. If you're going to be out and about celebrating Cinco de Mayo, please do so responsibly. Never ever drink then drive. Always get a ride share service or have a designated driver. Enjoy!
