Cinco De Mayo Fest Information
On May 5, Mexicans worldwide celebrate General Ignacio Zaragoza's 1862 triumph against the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla. Eventually, a stronger French force destroyed the Mexican army in the Second War of Puebla. It took Mexico City after Zaragoza died a few months after the war from an illness.
France and the Mexican Conservatives were on the verge of defeat until the United States began donating money and arms to the Mexican liberals after the end of the American Civil War in 1865. Napoleon III announced the withdrawal of French forces from Mexico during the opening of the French Parliament in January 1866. Secretary of State William H. Seward responded to a French call for American neutrality by saying that the French withdrawal from Mexico should be unconditional.
Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated in the United States, more so than in Mexico, and has become a day to honor Mexican and Mexican-American heritage. Columbia, a mining town in California, is the birthplace of these celebrations and has been doing so annually since 1863. Advertising campaigns by beer, wine, and tequila corporations in the 1980s helped spread the celebration beyond people of Mexican ancestry; today, Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales on pace with the Super Bowl.
