About Cinco de Mayo in Cancún
Cinco de Mayo remembers the Battle of Puebla in 1862, when the Mexican army defeated French troops. It isn't Mexico's Independence Day, which is September 16, and in most of Mexico it's a quiet civic date. The big parade is in Puebla.
Thanks to visitors from the United States, many bars and resorts in Cancún do celebrate it, with mariachi, Mexican food and margaritas. May is warm and mostly dry, just before the rainy season.
Things to do in Cancún on Cinco de Mayo
