Cinco de Mayo and the Battle of Puebla, Mexico. Cinco de Mayo, literally âMay the 5th,â is the holiday celebrating the Mexican victory over the French army on May the 5th, 1862, at Puebla, east of Mexico City. The city of Puebla holds a big annual celebration on the anniversary of the battle. But in most of Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is not really an important holiday. Itâs mostly a bank holiday and a day off from school. But this year itâs on a Saturday so my students donât even get a break for it!
