Cinco De Mayo Date Ideas
A list of Cinco de Mayo date ideas to help you connect with your significant other while enjoying the favorite foods and activities of the 5th of May!
In case anyone is in need of some fun Cinco de Mayo activities, I thought I’d share our list! I brainstormed a bunch of Cinco de Mayo date ideas one year when it fell on a Saturday. This year, we’re digging these up and planning some date nights during the month of May with a Cinco de Mayo theme.
Cinco de Mayo Celebrations
I know Cinco de Mayo is a holiday Americans misunderstand and often celebrate in their own way. Apparently, Americans love to do this, I’m looking at you too St. Patrick’s Day! I’m always sensitive to the fact of celebrating cultural appreciation instead of appropriation. This is a great time to make sure you’re truly appreciating and supporting respectfully. We love to use it as an excuse to celebrate our neighboring country and honor food, drinks, and Mexican culture while supporting locally owned businesses.
It’s easy to show appreciation and support living in the Southwest. I love supporting our authentic Mexican restaurants, and it’s a great opportunity to financially do so. I love that most of them patiently tolerate the American views of the day and still welcome you with open arms. Many offer amazing meals and drinks, and a surprising amount of fun things to do at Cinco de Mayo.
If you’re in the market for a date night, we have you covered with plenty of Cinco de Mayo Date Ideas!
