Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for “fifth of May.” This is a day that many seem to enjoy, love, and celebrate. What does it truly mean? 

Cinco De May’s deeply rooted history in the Franco-Mexican War influenced Mexican-Mexican American communities in the early years of the American Civil War. In the 1860s, these communities took up the banner of the Cinco De Mayo celebration as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy. In the United States, Americans celebrate Mexican-American heritage and pride annually on May 5th.

In the United States there are often displays of banners and events highlighting Mexican culture, music, and dancing. School districts may have special events to educate students about its historical significance. In the U.S. many celebrate with Mexican products and services with an emphasis on beverages, food, and music.

Share your Mexican heritage and use #CincodeMayo to post on social media.
