The day, which falls on Thursday, May 5 in 2022, is also known as Battle of Puebla Day. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Many people outside Mexico mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican independence, which was declared more than 50 years before the Battle of Puebla. Mexico’s Independence Day is Sept. 16. 👉 Ways to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in 2022 👈 -Share the Real Story -Support Mexican Businesses --Support Mexican Arts and Museums -Eat the Food
