Cinco de Mayo in Philadelphia 2025
Once Cinco de Mayo rolls around, we, as a society, clear our schedules, text the group chat, and make a whole weekend of it.
Scores of sombrero-ed Philadelphians flood the streets, the drinks hit a little harder, and the tacos somehow taste even better. Taco-stuffed bar crawls, margarita tours, high-energy dance floors, and even a few events that make you feel productive before the tequila kicks in are on the roster this year. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure vibe, and all roads lead to good times.
Cinco Express Bar Crawl
This is the crawl your weekend should revolve around — and with $5 margaritas and $4 beers at every stop, you don’t need tequila to tell you it’s the move.
Cinco Express is an Urban Craft and Crawl’s signature event, and it’s a walking love letter to good drinks, great music, and the wild energy only Cinco can bring. Cinco Express, happening on Saturday, May 3rd, is a city wide party with drink specials, DJs, giveaways, and themed stops — all wrapped up in one big crawl.
Rosy’s Taco Bar East
Cinco wouldn’t be Cinco without tacos — and Rosy’s Taco Bar East is coming through with the flavor and the fiesta.
Here, you’ll find a night party packed with all the essentials: $5 margaritas, taco specials, and live DJ sets that’ll get your mind off the fact that it’s a Monday and you have work in the morning.
Cinco de Mayo Run – Against All Odds
Listen — we love a good margarita marathon, but some of y’all are out here doing actual marathons. If you’re the type who wants to earn your tacos, the Cinco de Mayo Run: Against All Odds lets you log miles and support a good cause.
Choose your own distance (from a chill mile to a full half marathon), toss on a cinco-inspired fit, and feel good knowing you’re making an impact — before the party even starts.
Margarita March
If your Cinco goal is to taste test your way through Philly’s best margaritas, then Margarita March is your dream day in motion. This march includes access to 8 bars, each offering their own spin on the classic marg. This one’s less of a sprint and more of a slow, citrusy stroll with friends and flavor.
And once the Cinco celebrations wind down, or when you need a casual comeback day, we’ve got just the thing. Check out our guide toThe Best Beer Gardens Open Right Now in Philadelphia — because sunshine, cold drinks, and outdoor hangs are always a good idea.
