Cinco de Mayo celebrations have grown in popularity throughout the United States. This day commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Today, the day is observed with parades, parties, and even educational activities. In schools throughout the U.S. students learn about our neighboring country’s culture and history. Enjoying delicious Mexican cuisine is another way to celebrate this day. You might even sip on a margarita—try a nonalcoholic version with our tips for making mocktails!
