While May isn't as packed with events as March and April were, there are still a few days to look forward to, like May Day, Mother's Day, and Cinco de Mayo. Also, folks will get a long-awaited three-day weekend on May 26 as Memorial Day comes around.

The holiday actually commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
