For eight years, Miami’s largest Cinco de Mayo block party took place within the confines of a small area in Brickell. As with most things Miami, the celebration has grown more popular than ever.
The chains have now been broken, and much like the 1862 battle between Mexico and France, the people shall be victorious. Cinco de Mayo Brickell’s new location is now situated at 609 Brickell Ave. overlooking the water. The fiesta takes place Saturday, May 5, 2 p.m.-2 a.m.
Thousands of revelers will tip their sombreros and indulge in specialty cocktails and Grande Margaritas to celebrate Mexico’s win, while top deejays take center stage, including Miami Heat’s very own, ever-popular DJ Irie. It wouldn’t be a Mexican fiesta without a Mariachi band, Clamato Micheladas and food curated by award-winning Tacos & Tattoos, making this bash the best in town.
Tickets to this block party start at $15 when you buy online in advance. The serious party goer will splurge for the $20 (discounted) Fiesta Party Pack, which includes admission, mustaches, a margarita souvenir cup, and other goodies.
For the first time ever Cinco de Mayo Brickell will have a VIP section for those who want to take things up a notch. Early bird tickets will start at $40 and includes a private VIP Lounge area with seating, a complimentary Grande Margarita, a Fiesta Pack (featuring sombrero, mustaches, souvenir cup), and highly-coveted air-conditioned bathrooms. This year’s sponsors include Hornitos Tequila, Sauza, El Tesoro, Corona, Clamato Micheladas and Effen Vodka.
Cinco de Mayo Brickell is brought to you by the crew at SWARM, creators of Grovetoberfest, Coconut Grove Seafood Festival. Wynwood Art Walk Block Party, Sprung!, Grillin N Chillin, Basel House, Wynwood Life, and many other fun, high-profile events.
