Cinco de Mayo Party Ideas for May 5th

Why do you need Cinco de Mayo Party Ideas?


Cinco de Mayo means May 5th. In Mexico it is a celebration of a historic battle between the Mexican and the French troops, but here in the States we celebrate it like we celebrate like we do St. Patrick's Day. It is more of a celebration of the Mexican people than any specific date or event in Mexican history.

On this party page you will find Fiesta/Cinco de Mayo supplies, and lots of free printable party games and activities for your kids and your guests. Look for those links at the bottom of the page.



This festive and commemorative day gives you the perfect chance to show your pride and get in the full fiesta spirit! While many people will go mild and just have a traditional Mexican dinner in their homes, we recommend taking your Mexican Fiesta spirit to a whole new level.

Whether you are of Mexican heritage yourself or just want to celebrate the amazing culture and heritage of your friends that are, there is no holiday that gives you a better opportunity than Cinco de Mayo.

Here are some Cinco de Mayo Party Ideas You might want to try:

1. Fiesta at the Park
2. Fiesta at Your Community Center
3. May Fifth Party on the Move
4. A Cinco de Mayo Block Fiesta


This Mexican-American holiday is all about raising awareness for the amazing Mexican-American heritage, so why not make your party and your pride public?

Here are some ways to spread excitement for each of the Cinco de Mayo party ideas:

1. Post open Cinco de Mayo invitations at local stores or even in the paper asking anyone that comes to bring a traditional dish. Make sure there’s a piñata for the kids!
2. Have every member of your community center bring a guest that hasn’t been there before and give each new face a sombrero to help them celebrate.
3. Get a group of friends together and move from home to home every couple hours, having a makeshift parade between locations.
4. Light up the entire neighborhood! A Block Party Fiesta! Assign jobs (music, decorations, food) for each home celebrating on your block.

As a special treat a wonderful Mexican dessert you can make is Flan. It's a caramel custard that's not difficult to make and tastes delicious. Of course you will need a Mexican party game and that means a Pinata for the kids!

Cinco de Mayo is about appreciating our neighbors to the south, their ancestors, their history and your Mexican friends, so what better way to do that than with a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Celebration?
