Today is May 5, 2023, and this day is celebrated as a holiday known as Cinco de Mayo, which has become increasingly popular in the past decades. It became viewed in the 1980s as a potential cash cow by beer and alcohol companies and the investments in such a festive holiday made it even more lively and wild. But, there is actually more to this holiday than great nachos, tamales, or mariachi music.
While many Americans mistakenly think that Cinco de Mayo is the Mexican equivalent of the Fourth of July in the United States, this is incorrect. Even in Mexico, celebration of their true independence is much more widely celebrated across the nation than this holiday. Those who know of the holiday understand it as a simple celebration of a minor victory in Mexico’s failed war against France in the 1860s.

I understand Cinco-de-Mayo is important to Mexico but the funny thing is, except for a few places, it is not celebrated in Mexico like it is here. I have a friend who legally emigrated from Mexico 10 years ago, just became a US citizen but knew nothing about any celebrations until he came to the US. Allegedly it came to be a big thing in the US due to an ad campaign and promotion by Corona Beer to obviously sell their beer.
