If you are asking how long cinco de mayo lasts, the answer is 24 hours, since it is the calendar day of May 5.

Cinco de mayo is the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, and that took place in 1862; so if you are asking how long ago the event was, that would be (as of this year, 2014) 152 years ago.

This day as a celebration of Spanish American--and in particular, Mexican--culture is mostly something obsrved in the United States. In Mexico itself, 16 de septiembre gets much more attention.
