No, it’s not a made-up holiday. It’s a legitimate holiday IN MEXICO, but NOT HERE.

From Wikipedia:
“While Cinco de Mayo sees limited significance and celebration nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed nationwide in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.”

Cinco de Mayo is not really celebrated in Mexico...so the fact that it is so widely celebrated here makes it more like Kwanza than other holidays.
