Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration of Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla. On this day, the colors of the Mexican flag, green, white, and red, are proudly displayed in every corner of the country, and traditional Mexican food and drinks are consumed in abundance. In the modern age, the green represents hope and victory, the white represents unity, and the red pays tribute to the national heroes who have fought for Mexico over the years.
