Cinco de Mayo, celebrated annually on May 5, honors Mexican-American heritage and commemorates the historic Battle of Puebla from 1862. This year, the festivities will occur on a Tuesday. While many confuse this holiday with Mexican Independence Day, which is on September 16, Cinco de Mayo recognizes the Mexican Army’s victory over Napoleon III’s forces.
