Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a Virtual Team Party
Updated: February 2026
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican culture on the day of a great military victory against the French long ago. While the holiday is only a mild festivity in Mexico itself, Mexican Americans have embraced the day as a time to celebrate a shared culture, history, and love of grilled meats. Today, the celebration of Cinco de Mayo has spread all over the world as a time to drink, connect with friends and family, and appreciate our favorite parts of Mexican culture, history, and heritage.
If your team is gearing up for Cinco de Mayo, why not celebrate together? A virtual Cinco de Mayo party might be just the thing to blow off a little springtime work stress and toast some Tequila to a delicious platter of team-made tacos. Near or far, everyone loves spicy grilled meats.
Kick off this Spring with a few great team-building ideas for a virtual Cinco de Mayo celebration.
MOCKTAILS MARGARITAS WITH CHIPS & DIP on the 5th
If there's one way that everyone celebrates Cinco de Mayo, it's with Mexican food and drink.
