When Is Cinco de Mayo 2027?

About Cinco de Mayo in 2027

The holiday is a regional observance in the Mexican state of Puebla rather than a national one — Mexico's actual independence day is September 16, marking the 1810 start of the war against Spain.

In Puebla itself, the anniversary is marked with a military parade and battle reenactments, a much more overtly historical observance than the largely festive tone the date takes on in the US.

Restaurant and beverage sales tied to the date rank among the highest of any single day on the US calendar outside major national holidays.
