You would have to check with your local school district. It is not a national holiday.

Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated by Mexican-Americans and their descendants in the United States. Many cities with significant Mexican and Chicano populations throughout the US schedule special events on the 5th of May. In Los Angeles, most notably, revelers fill the streets in front of City Hall for speeches and performances by Mexican entertainers on this day.\n\nAlthough the celebration of this holiday has historically been limited to Latin-American communities, particularly in the southwest, it has become increasingly popular across the country and among all ethnic groups in the last 10 years. In recent years, it has been celebrated widely and in a similar style as St. Patrick’s Day — namely a celebration and identification with Mexicans, their culture, food, and music by Anglos and other unrelated ethnic groups. However, many Americans have only a cursory understanding of the significance of this day; it is often mistakenly assumed to be Mexico’s independence day, and in practice, it is usually celebrated on a superficial level.\n\nHope this helps.

There are sometimes festivals on/for Cinco de Mayo.  The literal translation is 5th of May.  It is one of Mexico's independence days (I believe they celebrate two).

You are right!  My daughter is a tribal member and her tribe doesn't celebrate Columbus day- they just tack on an extra day of festivities during the Fourth of July (Chief Taholah Days). However, as far as a National American Indian holiday? There should be some!!

I think it should be. It's kinda like a national holiday in California. Everyone is in action on Halloween.

What's not to like?  Irish beer and whiskey ... corned beef and cabbage ... parades ... all very enjoyable things.  Those people who scoff at this type of holiday, probably don't have much fun on other similar holidays.  \n\nI look forward to St. Patrick's Day and Mardi Gras because they mean Spring is just around the corner in my part of the Country.  I'm so tired of the overcast grey of Winter and so looking forward to Spring.  Aren't you?\n\nI raise my glass to any celebration that makes an otherwise ordinary day something special.\n\nSalute!

The Turkish Independence day falls on Novv 29 0r 30 so they celebrate the day, just not for the same reason.\nTurkey is available in Turkey but the turkish people prefer lamb and chicken . Their cuisine is very  much influenced by the Ottoman rule on their nation.

It is a day of celebration of when the Mexican army defeated the French. There was just a program on the Discovery channel about 2 hours ago about it! Check the listing I'm sure it will be on again.

April 14th is Good Friday.  I'm not sure if is a national holiday because it involves Easter and not everyone celebrates Easter.

Of course they celebrate, they get a day off being eaten. I'm sure they'd eat a turkey if they could take one down, it would have to be a team effort though.

Thanksgiving is the national day of...thanksgiving.  It was made a holiday by President Lincoln to help heal the scars of the Civil War.  Meant to symbolize the thanksgiving feast the Pilgrims had with the Native Americans after the winter and near-drought of the first year of settlement (the Native Americans basically kept the settlers alive, introducing them to native crops such as corn and lima beans and regional seafood like lobster and cod), the feast is actually an invitation for families to come back together and for the nation itself to put aside the bickering for just one day and eat and enjoy each other just for the sake of family.  Unfortunately, the pureness of the day is tainted by the fact that it marks the beginning of the Christmas buying season, but what can we do about that?  Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November.\n\nI'm not sure what I'm thankful for yet; I haven't made up my mind.  There are so many things I am grateful for, but that one thing I am thankful for...I need to put more thought into it.

Last year I didn't celebrate with anyone. It was fantastic. I put a small turkey in the crock pot and went to the movies. Came home, whipped up some mashed potatoes and stuffing, opened a bottle of wine, and watched the CSI marathon without anyone complaining. I wish I could do it again this year.

I don't think that's weird. You're entitled to do what you want to do. In my family, we celebrate Easter, Halloween and Christmas and birthdays because those are the fun holidays for the kids. As for the rest of the holidays.....we pretty much do the same thing on those days as we do for any other.
