Cinco de Mayo Isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day. In fact, it’s about recognizing a significant battle during the Franco-Mexican War that took place in Puebla, Mexico. While Mexico honors its military on this day, it is largely celebrated as a regional event in Puebla with their signature dish…mole poblano.  In the U.S., people party from coast to coast honoring Mexican food and culture. Think fresh margaritas, fajitas, and yummy guacamole. “According to the US Department of Agriculture, Americans eat over 80 million pounds of avocados on Cinco de Mayo alone!”  For more fun Cinco de Maya facts, please visit: https://www.parents.com/fun/parties/special-occasions/fun-facts-about-cinco-de-mayo/
