I understand somewhat where raeanna is coming from. I grew up in California, where Cinco de Mayo was fairly established. It also happens to be my daughter's birthday. When she was born (in Germany) I told my then-wife "Hey! Her birthday is on a holiday!" My then-wife was from Ohio and had no idea what I was talking about. She had never heard of Cinco de Mayo. 16 years ago, neither Corona nor Dos Equis had latched onto it as a marketing tool. Once they did, Cinco de Mayo became St. Patrick's Day 2: Alcoholic Boogaloo for us Americans. It's a holiday very few Amerians understand beyond the idea that it means another excuse to get to' up.
