2. It is not a national holiday in Mexico

3. President Franklin Roosevelt helped bring Cinco de Mayo celebrations to the U.S. in 1933
The holiday started to be celebrated in the U.S. after President Roosevelt created the “Good Neighbor Policy” in 1933 to improve relations with Latin American countries.
4. The largest Cinco de Mayo celebration is in Los Angeles
Cinco de Mayo has been a long time tradition in California. In 1863, Mexican miners in the town of Columbia broke into celebration when they received news that people were resisting French occupancy back home. Today, cities in California continue to hold large festivals like like Fiesta Broadway and Cinco de Mayo at Olvera Street.

5. There's an official Cinco De Mayo holiday dish
Mole poblano is considered to be the official dish of Cinco de Mayo because it is traditionally eaten in the town of Puebla. It's a sauce containing chili pepper, chocolate, and spices.
And while there is no official drink of Cinco de Mayo I think we can all agree the Margarita is the cocktail to cheers with this week!
