FAQ'S

What type of event is Cinco de Mayo?

Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, showcasing resilience against foreign intervention and sparking national pride. While not widely celebrated in Mexico beyond Puebla, it holds cultural significance for Mexican-Americans. In Downtown San Jose, California, we honor this heritage by hosting vibrant festivities. Our celebrations feature parades, festivals, music, dance, and cuisine, creating a lively atmosphere that brings the community together to celebrate Mexican culture and identity.
