The underdog theory of the Mexican troops is significant symbolizing unity and pride in the unexpected victory in this battle.
Today, the celebration is celebrated in Puebla and throughout Mexico as the second most celebrated and important day.

I think it’s one of those things were people need an excuse to party. Think about how many people who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day that isn’t Irish. BTW, Colorado has the biggest Cinco de Mayo celebration, outside of Mexico.
Funny, that is exactly what my 18 yr old said.
Incresingly popular in the US now!
Thanks for stopping by.
