Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, commemorates the defeat of the French invaders at the battle of Pueblo and is one of the most highly celebrated Mexican fiestas around the globe – needless to say, it’s a brilliant time to bring out the maracas and party!

A Cinco de Mayo party usually involves luscious deep colors, faux cacti decorations, vibrant centerpieces, crazy little banderitas and everything Mexican, from the colorful costumes to the wonderfully hot and spicy food to the heart-felt Mariachi serenades down to the sombreros of various shapes and sizes.

You think there’s nothing else you can do to up the ante even further? Well, that’s where LEGO comes in. This is how to have a Cinco de Mayo fiesta, OLÉGO style!

Just think about the endless possibilities that LEGO could bring to Cinco de Mayo: Cacti you can touch without being pricked placed in random areas of the room; a huge Sleeping Mexican centerpiece made from hundreds of little indestructible blocks of colors; a Mexican banner made entirely from an immortal toy. Suddenly the room seems brighter, and the party a lot livelier than ever before!

Not only is it great to look at but it’s fun to assemble, too! A lot of people enjoy Cinco de Mayo, but when LEGO comes to play, a whole new dimension is added to the fray, doubling the excitement even before the festivities start. Now wouldn’t you want that kind of fun in your celebration?

LEGO products are affordable, reusable and can definitely spice up any fiesta. And let’s not forget the best part: your party becomes instantly kid-friendly and child-proofed at the same time! No more accidents with sharp centerpieces shattering accidentally on the floor; when that happens, both children and children-at-heart can spend more time together in creating new Mexican-inspired works of art.

There’s no better way to celebrate the spirit of triumph than with LEGO.
