Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexico’s culture and traditions, the date marking the Mexican Army’s victory in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year by creating the perfect ambiance around your home and yard to welcome friends and family to mark the occasion.

A dinner party at home is a great way to celebrate the holiday. Dress your table with vibrant touches to bring your party to life. As dusk falls, add flameless candles to your table décor for added illumination whilst enjoying traditional dishes prepared for the evening.

Add to the joyous atmosphere by stringing illuminated papel picado banners, inspired by Mexican folk art, overhead. Pair with felt garlands and acrylic string lights hung along shelving and entrances to set the mood perfectly for the evening.

Finally, continue your atmosphere in your backyard by wrapping trees and porches with Twinkly Smart Lighting which combines innovative technology with a smartphone application, allowing you to customize and control your lighting displays with ease. Choose the perfect color scheme to complement your interior, welcoming your guests in style for an evening of celebrating Mexican cultural heritage & traditions.
