May fifth has finally arrived! This special day celebrates Mexican heritage and is widely celebrated in the United States. President Joe Biden marked this event during a reception in May 2024, stating: «In America, we defend democracy; we do not diminish it. We defend freedoms; we do not take them away. America, where the economy grows from the bottom up, the wealthy pay their fair share, and working people have a fair shot — that’s what we are: America, where no one is left behind».
He added: «Friends, the reason we are the fastest-growing country in the world, the best economy in the world, is immigration».
Biden continued: «What I see in the Latin American community — doctors, teachers, athletes, artists, community leaders, builders, first responders who put themselves on the line to keep others safe. You are dreamers and doers. You beat cancer. You command the armed forces. You take deep steps into space. And that matters. You matter. You truly matter. You matter more than we can express».
Yes, the celebration is taking place today — May fifth, 2024.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Although it is celebrated in the city of Puebla, where the battle took place, the holiday is much more widely observed in the United States.
It is often celebrated with festive gatherings featuring Mexican food and drinks such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, beer, margaritas, and more.
Although these two dates are often confused, Mexico celebrates its Independence Day on September 16, not on May fifth
