Festivals of the World: Cinco De Mayo

Cinco De Mayo (the 5th of May) commemorates a victory in 1862 of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle of Puebla. In modern times Cinco De Mayo is a holiday that celebrates all of Mexican culture with lots of food, music and dance. Cinco De Mayo Barbie doll wears a beautiful folkloric dress with ruffles and ribbons inspired by the colors of the Mexican flag. A traditional hairstyle with braids and festive embellishments add the final touch. Doll cannot stand alone.
