The Community Foundation of Tompkins County wishes you a joyful Cinco de Mayo!

Observed each year on May 5, this day commemorates Mexico’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862—a powerful symbol of resilience and unity. Today, it’s a time to honor Mexican heritage, culture, and community.

We celebrate the vibrant traditions, history, and contributions that enrich our shared community. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
