Learn how to make handmade tortillas with the family — it’s easier than you think!
If you’re searching for a fun activity to do with your family for Cinco de Mayo, consider making handmade tortillas! It might seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple. All you need is masa harina (corn flour), water, and a little bit of salt. Mix the ingredients together, roll them into balls, and flatten them with a tortilla press (or a rolling pin). Then, cook them on a hot skillet until they’re slightly browned. Not only is the process of making tortillas enjoyable, but you’ll also get to enjoy a delicious and authentic Mexican staple. So gather your loved ones, put on some music, and let’s get cooking!
Gather everyone together for some fun games such as Loteria or Charades
Looking for some entertainment to spice up your Cinco de Mayo gathering? Why not try some classic games like Loteria, El Trio, or Charades? These games are perfect for bringing everyone together and creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Loteria is a game similar to Bingo, but with a Mexican twist.
Charades is a game where players act out words or phrases without speaking, while others try to guess what they are portraying. No matter which game you choose, it’s bound to be a hit and create lasting memories with your loved ones.
Make fresh agua frescas for the kids
Get ready to mix up some fun for both the adults and kids at your Cinco de Mayo party! While margaritas are a classic go-to for the adults, fresh agua frescas are a sweet and refreshing option for kids of all ages. For the agua frescas, try using watermelon, cantaloupe, or strawberry for a juicy and delicious drink that the kids will love. With these drink choices, your party is sure to be a hit for everyone!
End the night with fireworks and sparklers to create lasting memories of a true fiesta!

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, a wedding, or just having a good old-fashioned backyard bash, nothing quite compares to the excitement and magic of these explosive pyrotechnics. As the colors dance across the sky and the crackling of the sparklers fills the air, your guests will be left with memories that will last long after the last spark has fizzled out.
