Actually, it commemorates the victory of an outnumbered Mexican army over the French forces of Napoleon III at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. These days, May 5 has become a celebration of Latino culture. For 2022, most celebrations will over the weekend, May 7 or 8.

Events are FREE unless otherwise noted. Here are some of the bigger ones we’ve found.
