Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It’s not Mexico’s Independence Day, but it has become a significant cultural event celebrated by Mexicans and people of Mexican heritage worldwide.
The Battle of Puebla was fought during the Franco-Mexican War. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the Mexican army led by General Ignacio Zaragoza successfully defended the city of Puebla against the French.
Cinco de Mayo became a symbol of Mexican pride and nationalism. It was celebrated by Mexican communities in the United States to express their cultural identity and solidarity with their homeland. Today, the holiday is celebrated globally with parades, parties, and cultural events showcasing Mexican music, food, and traditions. At the Resort at Eagle Point, we celebrate Cinco de Mayo to honor the achievements and contributions of the Mexican people and invite members and guests to join us for a festive day of golf, food, and fun.
