stores and offices in Mexico are not closed, it is not a big holiday here. It became a big holiday in USA because General Zaragoza who was important in that battle was from a town that is now part of USA, and its like a celebration of Mexicans in the USA.

Well, the above explanation sounds to be the most off the wall one I've ever heard. I doubt the story, though. The day is a holiday in parts of Mexico, and there are celebrations and parades - but not in Cancun as far as I know. You should be able to do whatever you want to, without interruption.
