After my retirement I took a long vacation - 5 yrs - to Puerto Moralos, MX - 25 mi south of Cancun- in those 5 years I never saw a selebration for the 5th of May.

For about five years, I worked on a project which moved Ford of Mexico into Ford North America. Every professional discipline was involved. I was usually in Mexico City the first two weeks of each month. I recall that Cinco de Mayo wasn't that big a deal. The factories were active, as were professional offices.
I live outside Southwest Detroit which has a very large Hispanic contingency (Mexican Town). They have parades and all kinds of celebrations celebrating the holiday.

Cinco de Mayo is a minor holiday in Mexico.
But starting in East Los Angeles they adopted it for Mexican-Americans as their "own" holiday like St Patrick's Day is for the Irish.
My students in East Los Angeles (28 years at two schools) enjoyed it. Students who had newly emigrated from Mexico were surprised about what a big deal it was, but quickly got in on the parties, performances and parades. Besides, if it fell on a school day they had assemblies and a double long lunch period and a double long morning break with dance contests etc. etc.

During a field school to Michoacán State in the early 70s we took a bus to Puebla and saw a celebration, a review by the local Mexican Army Garrison in honor of their victory over the French. In Puebla it is an annual thing for the Army.

Yes it sure would be a holiday in and around PUEBLA -Mexico has many of these minor holidays- there is almost one for each day of the year one of the books I bought before moving the had them listed it made great reading of the culture. I enjoyed learning true Mexico history.

I don't know but I think this is in bad taste especially for those who do celebrate the holiday.
Hmm . . . I thought it was kind of funny.
