Growing up here in SoCal it is definitely considered at the least on par, but probably more heavily celebrated than the somewhat analogous St. Patty's Day. I remember some sort of celebration for this day all the way back to elementary school with folklorico dancers and mariachi's at school wide celebrations, etc. It's pretty funny how we celebrate it here and how parts of Mexico really don't seem to consider too big of a holiday. I consider it a day to eat good food, drink margaritas, and hang out with good friends.
