To be fair, Cinco de Mayo is more of a Mexican-American holiday. The day isn't all that celebrated in Mexico.
That's true, but they never miss an opportunity to ham it up in mexico proper for tourists. It's fun either way. From what I've seen mexicans take the attitude of an opportunity to have a cook out the same way some americans have about labor day (without honoring the purpose of the holiday).

The Hellman’s Mayonnaise Company, based in England in 1912, had several hundred cases of their condiment aboard the Titanic bound for the ship's second port of call after New York – Vera Cruz, Mexico. When the Titanic sunk the Mexicans were so distraught they had a national day of mourning, which is still recognized today as "Sinko de Mayo."
Fess Parker made a living playing both Daniel Bonne and Davy Crockett for the kids watching TV. I think those shows mixed up the identity of both these historic figures. Now that coonskin cap I have in the attic is it an original Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett edition?
