About Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is a regional holiday in the state of Puebla and not Mexico's independence day, which is September 16.

It is widely celebrated in the United States as a festival of Mexican culture, heritage and food.

In 2028 it falls on a Friday. This countdown runs to the first moment of May 5 in the time zone you choose, so the figure matches the calendar day on your wall.

  • Parades and street fairs in Puebla and across the US
  • Mariachi music and folkloric dances
