Though often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, Cinco De Mayo in fact celebrates an important victory for the outnumbered Mexican army against France in 1862. Nowadays, it is seen all over the world as the perfect date to enjoy and indulge in all things Mexico, including food, drinks and music.
And Eat Street Northshore is going all out for this a-maize-ing fiesta! From today, May 2 to May 4, you’ll get to enjoy the best and spiciest from Mexico with over 60 gourmet food vendors, live entertainment across four stages, themed roving performers, cocktail specials and competitions!
This Labour Day Weekend, join the liveliest celebration of all, with Mexican must-haves like juicy birria tacos, crispy churros, as well as flame-grilled meats and viral desserts for all your Instagram needs.
Once you’ve had your fill, get ready tequil-it on the dance floor, with Brazilian and Mexican roving dancers, the Jojo Zamora Trio, salsa dancing and Spanish guitar tunes to heat things up! And don’t worry if you have two left feet: there will also be Cinco De Mayo-inspired cocktails such as a spicy Jalapeño Margarita, a tropical Piña Paloma and an innovative Frozen Guavarita. We can’t promise they’ll make you better, but they’ll get you dancing.
Each day there’s a chance to win delicious competitions and these are nacho average prizes! Friday is for the amigos, so sign up here for the win dinner for you and three friends at Las Catrinas!
For the “phone eats first” crowd, get your camera ready for Saturday. If you snap and tag the best pic of the evening, you will get a free churro with your sweet, sweet victory! And, on Sunday, things will get muy calientes, as you can win a whopping $200 bar tab!
Ándale, it’s time to party the weekend away!
