Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle of Puebla in 1862. The festival caps a week of events commemorating the holiday throughout Walworth County.
In downtown Whitewater Tuesday, the TRIO Mariachi Band, UW-Whitewater’s ALMA Dancers the Waukesha 4-H Club and Razas Unidas dance troupe performed.
At Delavan-Darien High School, which has a student population of more than 28 percent Latino, the holiday was recognized with several events.
An all-school assembly was held Wednesday morning, featured two Latino students explaining what Cinco de Mayo is to the student body.

Celebrate a Mexican holiday in Mexico, not in the USA where we celebrate the 4th of July.
