Isn't it Mexican Independence Day or something like that? Kind of funny that until Corona Beer became popular no one ever heard of Cinco De Mayo, HAHA
It's celebrated in some parts of Mexico as well. Mostly Puebla, though...and understandably so.
Most Americans that celebrate it don't know what it means...and most do think it's 'Mexican Independence Day', or a day to wear sombreros and eat Americanized Mexican food and drink margaritas and pretend they know Mexican history.

It is the celebration of the Mexicans defeating the French army at the battle of Puebla. I am not sure of the year.
I happen to be a half Italian, half Celtic red head that lives in Denver Colorado where there are plenty of people that are Mexican or of Mexican descent that celebrate the holiday. As far as I am concerned, why not have a good time?
HAPPY Belated Cinco De Mayo And Happy M.I.L.F. Day Everyone! The Fifth Of May In ALL Of The Country Of Mexico Celebrates The Victory Of The Mexican Army Led By General Ignacio Zaragoza Against French Forces In The City Of Puebla, On May 5, 1862.
Also Widely Celebrated In The U. S. Of A.! U. S. Festivities Of This Glorious Mexican Historical Event Are Largely A Result Of Promotions In Thee U. S. By Liquor And Beer Industries And Bars/Taverns/Clubs/Restaurants Since The Beginning Of 1980. For Many Years Cinco De Mayo Fiestas In The U. S. Promoted Cinco De Mayo As Mexican Independence Day Which Is Actually CELEBRATED On September 16, Worldwide! Although Mexicans Worldwide Feel VERY EXTREMELY Proud Of The Meaning Of Cinco De Mayo, It's Unfortunately Not A National Mexican Holiday But It Is An Official Holiday In Thee State Of Puebla Where The Mentioned Battle Took Place.
