Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5th. It is celebrated in the United States and Mexico. Many Mexican Americans also often see the day as a source of pride and a way to honor their ethnicity. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Many confuse Cinco de Mayo with Mexico's Independence Day, the most important national holiday in Mexico, celebrated on September 16.
