Another day, another holiday spent at home in quarantine.
Cinco de Mayo is especially bittersweet because, even more so than other holidays, it's normally spent with huge parties, lots of margaritas with your pals, and general tomfoolery. While we can't gather in large groups to celebrate this year, you can still bring the party to your own living room. This is How to Do Cinco de Mayo at Home in Austin.
Check out all the special Cinco de Mayo livestream events here!
