About Cinco de Mayo 2028

Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on May 5th, commemorates the Mexican Army's historic victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, the outnumbered and ill-equipped Mexican forces achieved a heroic triumph that bolstered national unity.

While celebrated modestly in Mexico (primarily in the state of Puebla), Cinco de Mayo has become a major celebration of Mexican-American culture, heritage, food, and music across the United States. Festivals feature mariachi music, folkloric dancing, parades, and traditional Mexican culinary specialties.

In 2028, Cinco de Mayo falls on a Friday. Planning ahead allows restaurants, cultural centers, and party hosts to organize catering and festivities.
