5月5日はシンコ・デ・マヨ（Cinco de Mayo）は、メキシコのおもにプエブラ州の祝日で、1862年5月5日にプエブラの会戦でメキシコ軍がフランス軍を奇跡的に撃退したことを記念しています。シンコ・デ・マヨは地域に限定され、メキシコ全土での重要性はありませんが、この日はアメリカ合衆国や世界の他の地域では、メキシコ人の伝統と尊厳の祝典として知られています。ちなみに、メキシコで最も重要な愛国的な国の祝日は、メキシコ独立記念日の9月16日 (dieciséis de septiembre) です。

Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5th. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on Sept. 16, commemorating the Cry of Dolores, which initiated the war of Mexican independence from Spain.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
