When is Cinco de Mayo? Dates through 2036
How the date is set
Cinco de Mayo is May 5 every year.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Good to know
- It is not Mexico's Independence Day, which is September 16.
- It is more widely celebrated in the United States than in most of Mexico.
How this countdown counts
The timer runs to midnight at the start of Cinco de Mayo in your own time zone. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.
