About the countdown to Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is often celebrated more widely in the United States than across Mexico, where it is chiefly observed in the state of Puebla.
The day commemorates a historic Mexican victory and is widely celebrated with food and music.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next Cinco de Mayo falls in ISO week 18 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
