Cinco de Mayo is primarily observed by Americans of the Mexican Ancestry in the United States, as a day to celebrate the Mexican culture and experience. It has been likened in significance to St. Patrick's day as the celebration of Irish heritage.

In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is observed as a regional holiday in the Mexican state of Puebla, where the Battle of Puebla took place in 1862. It has limited recognition in the rest of Mexico.
