Cinco De Mayo Festival To Draw Hundreds Of Thousands

By Anna Alejo, CBS Denver:
In Colorado, Cinco de Mayo – or the 5th of May – is a time to showcase Mexican culture, heritage, and pride.
The day commemorates Mexico's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, 161 years ago. Despite being outnumbered 2 to 1, the Mexicans were victorious. Although still celebrated in Puebla, the holiday is more prominent in the U.S. than in Mexico.
