But first, some history, Cinco de Mayo, which is frequently confused for Mexican Independence Day, is a holiday that celebrates the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862, per The History Channel. In Mexico, the day is celebrated with military parades, battle recreations, and various other festivities, but the celebrations have also made their way to the U.S. According to The History Channel, Chicano activists brought awareness of the holiday to the U.S. in the 1960s, almost a century after the Battle of Puebla. Today, celebrations include parades, parties, mariachi music, Mexican folk dancing, and traditional Mexican foods. Some of the largest Cinco de Mayo festivals are held in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and other places with large Mexican populations.
With all that in mind, here are 10 deals that will help you celebrate this important day.
