Cinco de Mayo, translating to the 5th of May, holds a special place in Mexican history, commemorating the unlikely victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While it's often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day, it's actually a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.
And what better way to honor this vibrant culture than with a festive celebration right here in Sedona?
