Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrated on May 5th to commemorate the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
This year, May 5 falls on a Friday, which is a day of the week Padres fans already celebrate with happy hours and special events. And as luck would have it, the Padres have a home game.
