Mexican american heritage cultural diversity, Cinco de Mayo is the yearly celebration of Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

While the French won the Second Battle of Puebla, and the leader of the first battle, General Ignacio Zaragoza, died months later due to illness, Mexico eventually received support from the U.S. after the American Civil War, leading to the French withdrawal from the country.

Now, Cinco de Mayo is more associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture, as it gained popularity in the U.S. in the 1980s through various advertising campaigns, usually for alcohol.

Cinco de Mayo celebrations originated in Mexico, though the holiday has been recognized in the United States for many years. According to Way, Los Angeles, California is known for the largest Cinco de Mayo festival in the country, Fiesta Broadway Festival.

While some in Mexico do recognize Cinco de Mayo, others don't think of it as a day of significant importance. It isn't a historical date, as Mexico celebrates gaining independence from the Spanish Empire on September 16. The celebration tends to be more popular in the U.S., though it is widely accepted as a day for Mexican pride and patriotism.

Usually, there are various parades and battle reenactments on Cinco de Mayo, along with folkloric dancing and the promotion of Mexican food and music.
