Cinco de Mayo is a national holiday set to honor the Mexican army’s defeat over the French Empire on May 5th, 1862.

The Puebla State Fair, which runs from mid-April to mid-May, is a classic family event with games, food, and rides for everyone. Each year, Mexico’s acclaimed Ambulante Film Festival comes to Puebla for several days to show off local and international filmmaking talent. In November, Puebla will host its third annual International Silent Film Festival.
