Portland Cinco de Mayo Events: Parties, Festivals, Music, Food & Drink Specials

As always, we have a large list of Portland Cinco de Mayo events including parties, festivals, dinners, shows, etc.  In 2013, Cinco de Mayo takes place on Sunday meaning events all weekend!

It is a common misconception that Cinco De Mayo is Mexico’s answer to our own independence day. In actuality, Cinco De Mayo is celebrated to commemorate the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Whatever your reason for celebrating, there is a lot to do in Portland all weekend in honor of Cinco De Mayo.

WIN PORTLAND TICKETS: We give out 100s of $$$ in free tickets every week including to many of the top events in Portland. Join our newsletter if you like free stuff

If you want your Portland Cinco de Mayo event(s) here, you can email us a proper press release (what, when where, how much) to pdxpipeline @ gmail dot com.

Be Safe: To make sure you and your car get home this year, Ride On Portland will be operating from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Call 503-235-RIDE for a safe ride home.
