Cinco de Mayo Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Cinco de Mayo and why is it celebrated?

Cinco de Mayo is an annual event observed on May 5th, according to Wikipedia. The occasion is commemorated to mark the triumph of the Mexican Army against the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza.

 

What are some of the Cinco de Mayo activities?

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrated mostly in the state of Puebla, where Zaragoza’s improbable victory happened, although it is also observed in other countries. Among the traditions are military parades, reenactments of the Battle of Puebla, and other festive festivities. Parades, food, music, traditional dancing, and combat reenactments are all part of the festivities.

 

When did the United States’ Cinco de Mayo celebrations begin?

According to the UCLA Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture, the contemporary American celebration of Cinco de Mayo began in California in 1863 in response to resistance to French authority in Mexico. (#31) “In the gold country town of Columbia (now Columbia State Park), Mexican miners were so overjoyed that they spontaneously fired off rifle shots and fireworks, sung patriotic songs, and made impromptu speeches.”

The holiday grew across the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, but it was not widely celebrated until the 1980s, when marketers, particularly beer firms, capitalized on the day’s joyful aspect and began to advertise it. It first gained traction and evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage in cities with large populations of Mexican-Americans, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and New York.
