Happy Cinco de Mayo today! The celebration has evolved from its roots that were a solemn commemoration of the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 to what most people now consider to be a drinking holiday.

Experts say the commercialization of Cinco de Mayo has major benefits for businesses, especially those owned by Latinos.
