What is celebrated in Mexico on February 5th?

February 5th is the official date when the Mexican constitution was formed in 1917 after signing of a convention by Venustiano Carranza. Up until 2006, the day was celebrated in Mexico on 5th February itself. However, following the new labor law, the day is now celebrated on the first Monday of February, irrespective of the date. The day is celebrated to commemorate the formation of a new Mexican constitution.

Joanne Serin, You are confusing this date with Cinco de Mayo, which is in May, NOT February.

I always knew it as the date of the Battle of Puebla against the French occupiers, not anything as important as the Constitution. Once, when I was a French teacher, I led one of my classes on an "invasion" of a Spanish class, with Silly String as our weapon. I did tell the other teacher beforehand.
