CINCO de MAYO Cinco de Mayo ("The Fifth of May" in Spanish) is a national holiday in Mexico which is also widely celebrated in the United States. It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza over the French occupational forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In celebration of this historical event, our post is hosting a Cinco de Mayo "Jamfest."  Please see the flyer for event details!
