Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that commemorates the liberation of Mexico from French forces in 1862 in Puebla, located in the northern part of the country. On this day, Mexicans dress in colorful clothes, play music and dance, and eat traditional Mexican festive foods such as corn salsa, guacamole, burritos, and enchiladas. Since the colors of the Mexican flag are white, red and green, efforts are made to duplicate aspects of these colors in diet and clothing.
