Sunday marks Cinco de Mayo, the day that many think is Mexican Independence Day. That notion is wrong. Mexican Independence Day is Sept. 16.

Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate a Mexican military victory over the French in the city of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, The Washington Post reported.

The day is filled with parties and like any holiday, businesses will bank on getting customers into their establishments by offering discounts and freebies.
