I've been in Tijuana on 5/5 and seen tens of thousands parading the streets. It was a big deal. I think it may vary depending on where in Mexico.
"Viva Mexico!" they shouted, for hours and hours, the energy was amazing.
I also got roars of laughter as the only gringo one could see, shouting "Viva Mexico!" with them. They loved it.
Isn't Cinco de Mayo mostly celebrated in the US, and not that much in Mexico, anyway? It's just a way to make money for the food/party industry?
Fake holiday for the sheep. Mexican Independence is celebrated on September 26th.
Correct. It is not about Mexican Independence.

My mistake. I got that from a couple of articles.
