In the US, Cinco de Mayo is an excuse to get drunk and party. It's kinda like the made up holiday Kwanzaa.
My son was watching the local news with me tonight and they had something about on about it. He asked me what it was and I told him. Then he asked me why people in America were celebrating it. I told him "excellent question".
