Cinco de Mayo or the Fifth of May is a day that is celebrated all over the world. In Mexico or wherever the culture of Mexico is celebrated — families, friends and neighbors gather to have a fiesta in honor of the event. This festival observes the 1862 victory of 4,000 ill-equipped Mexicans over 8,000 well-equipped French invaders. The battle known as La Batalla de Puebla or The Battle of Puebla took place on...(you guessed it) May 5. Today, all is forgiven, with fiestas planned in Mexico and in many communities around the world where Mexicans live.

Kids and adults all welcome the day to feast on Mexican food and celebrate national pride.
