3 Fun Facts About Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽
-
It’s not Mexican Independence Day.
That’s September 16th! Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. -
It’s a bigger deal in the U.S. than in Mexico.
While Puebla marks it with parades and reenactments, many parts of Mexico don’t really celebrate it—meanwhile, the U.S. turned it into a fiesta of food, music, and margaritas. -
It became popular thanks to beer ads.
Major beer brands in the U.S. helped turn Cinco de Mayo into a celebration of Mexican-American culture starting in the 1980s. (The power of marketing, right?)
