This Saturday is Cinco de Mayo, and while it’s definitely not Mexican Independence Day (and not even marked in most of Mexico), it has become a nationwide celebration of Mexican culture and heritage in the U.S., and fiestas abound. Where to party on May 5? We’ve got your list.

Bandolero: The Tackle Box pop-up preview of Mike Isabella’s newest spot will go out with a bang. Cinco de Mayo festivities start at noon with a special á la carte menu, and from 5–7 PM enjy samples of the signature margarita and Sticky Fingers margarita cupcakes.

Ceiba: From 3 PM–close, head to this Glover Park Latin-American for $5 margaritas and $5 Mexican street food.

El Centro D.F.: It’s the first anniversary for Richard Sandoval’s Logan Circle Mexican, and the celebrating begins at brunch with a $35 prix-fixe that includes bottomless cocktails from 11 AM–5 PM. Then the fiesta gets going from 6 PM–close with a $20 cover for the DJ’d party, which will also feature $4 Mexican beers and $5 margaritas.

National Harbor Wine & Food Festival: This huge fest takes place noon–6 PM, Saturday–Sunday, and though wine is the focus, you can hit up the Cinco De Mayo Pavilion featuring Hornitos tequila for some Mexi-drinking fun. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.

Tortilla Coast (Capitol Hill): On Saturday, May 5, spend an afternoon hour from 4–5 PM listening to traditional mariachi music and enjoying $5 Sauza Hornitos Plata shots.
