TO DO THIS WEEKEND: BOSTON MAY 5-7th, 2023

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The battle took place in the city of Puebla, Mexico, and resulted in a decisive victory for the Mexican forces, who were outnumbered by the French. The victory at Puebla was a morale boost for the Mexican people and helped to inspire their continued resistance to the French occupation.
