Introduces the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo, and discusses its origins in the Battle of Puebla, foods, costumes, music, parades, dancing, and other celebrations, and the holiday in the United States. - Crabtree Pub Co
On May 5, 1862, a small group of Mexican forces defeated a powerful French army at the Battle of Puebla, one of historyâs most memorable fights for freedom. It is this victory that Mexicans, especially those settled in the United States, celebrate as Cinco de Mayo, (Fifth of May). Colorful parades, music, folk dances, and reenactments of the famous battle mark the celebrations.
