Cinco de Mayo

It’s fiesta time, so grab your sombrero. Bring on the Latin food trucks and celebrate Mexico's victory at the Battle of the Puebla! Broadcast some themed music to add to the fiesta atmosphere. Serve some virgin margaritas to maximize everyone’s fun. Creating a self-serve salsa bar also might add to the fun!

Just the Basics

Here are a few easy suggestions for planning your Cinco de Mayo event to get you started:
  • Create Photo Ops. Have props available – masks, hats, and maracas to encourage everyone to lighten up a let loose while at lunch. Encourage folks to post to the social media site of your choice. Create a hashtag. Consider giving small prizes for those who post.
  • Broadcast Latin music to add to the party atmosphere.
  • Schedule a Food Truck to serve lunch. Make sure the vendor specializes in Mexican food. If your budget allows, provide free food or discounts. This can be tied to anyone in costume, and then you coordinate with the food truck vendor at the end of the day to pay out anything they’ve awarded. If budget doesn’t allow for rewards, the tenants will still appreciate being able to buy their own lunch while having fun on-site.   
    • We can help you determine a budget based on activities at your other events if needed. Most trucks will work on a maximum so you can give them your budget number and they’ll stop serving free food once that’s reached.  
    • Food Truck Discount Examples: Most food trucks will work with you to create a package to meet your budget. Ideas for how you might incorporate free tenant food include giving the first 20 people in costume free lunch, paying for the first $500 spent at the truck, or paying for an appetizer for anyone in costume up to $250.
