It's that time of year when the May 5, 1862, Battle of Puebla, in which outnumbered Mexican troops defeated French soldiers, is celebrated as Cinco de Mayo.

The day is steeped in lessons of history and freedom, but it's become an unofficial holiday reserved for celebrating Mexican culture, food, margaritas and cervezas.

If you're out and about and take some Cinco de Mayo photos, please feel free to upload them to our gallery.
