Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for "May 5," a day that commemorates the Mexican victory over the French in 1862. It is celebrated mostly regionally in Mexico near the Puebla region, where the battle took place.


In the United States, the fifth of May is a day to celebrate Mexican-American culture and experiences. These celebrations often include food, drink, and dancing. If you could make up your own way to commemorate Cinco de Mayo, what would it be?
