Cinco de Mayo is often confused as Mexico’s Independence Day. Cinco de Mayo commemorates an army victory in the “Batalla de Puebla” against the French in 1862, during the French occupation.

Cinco de Mayo is more of a regional holiday in Mexico, celebrated in the state of Puebla. Commercial interests in the United States and Mexico have also been successful in promoting the holiday, with products and services focused on Mexican food, beverage and festive items. U.S. merchants identify this as a new venue in order to build and attract customers via this new theme. Cinco de Mayo is becoming increasingly popular due to several factors like 1) Retailer distribution of Mexican products 2) Mexican representation of retailers dollars and 3) Party time venues with Cinco de Mayo theme.
