Cinco De Mayo Pub Crawls
The Wichita Cinco de Mayo pub crawl is the May event that the city’s bar scene builds toward every spring. Festively dressed participants fill the route from first stop to last call, and the result is one of the most energetic and welcoming pub crawl nights in the Wichita calendar.
Wichita’s Mexican American community and its bar culture come together for Cinco de Mayo every May and the pub crawl is where it all happens. The city’s cantinas and cocktail bars provide the perfect backdrop for a celebration that is equal parts tradition, community, and exceptional tequila drinking.
What sets the Wichita Cinco de Mayo pub crawl apart is the genuine enthusiasm of the city’s bar community for the holiday. The cantinas go all-in on green and red decor, the bartenders know their margarita craft, and the crowd that fills the route every May is the kind of welcoming, festive group that makes bar crawls worth attending.
Our Wichita Cinco de Mayo route is curated to showcase the bars and cantinas that best capture the holiday’s fiesta spirit from the Mexican themed spots that pour proper margaritas to the neighborhood bars that go all in on Cinco decor and tequila specials. The route moves, the drinks flow, and Wichita celebrates May 5th the way it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Wichita Cinco de Mayo Bar Crawl?
Saturday, May 1, 2027, running from 5:00 PM until 11:00 PM. It takes the Saturday ahead of the holiday, which falls midweek that year. The wristband is what gets you in at every participating door.
Which part of Wichita does the route use on Cinco de Mayo?
Old Town, almost certainly. The restored warehouse district east of downtown keeps the city's bars close together across a few brick-paved blocks. Each option is a distinctly different night.
Does Wichita have a Mexican-American community?
A long-established one, particularly on the north and west sides. Cinco de Mayo has genuine local roots here rather than existing purely as a bar promotion. Ask at check-in if anything is unclear.
What is Wichita weather like in early May?
Mild but volatile, usually in the 60s after dark. Early May sits in the heart of plains storm season, so check the forecast before you commit to the evening.
Is Old Town Wichita walkable on Cinco de Mayo?
Yes. The participating bars sit close together across a compact grid, which makes a six-hour window straightforward to work through entirely on foot. Nothing on the route needs a car once you have parked.
Is Wichita State in session in early May?
Around the end of spring semester. Early May is finals season, so the student presence in Old Town depends on exactly where the university calendar falls. Check the academic calendar if that matters to you.
Does Riverfest clash with the Cinco crawl?
No. Wichita's Riverfest sits later in the spring, so a Cinco de Mayo crawl runs without it and the city is quieter than during that stretch. Check the page before you plan around it.
Should I arrange a ride home in Wichita on Cinco de Mayo?
Yes. Rideshare demand rises on a themed Saturday, and the city is spread out enough that walking home from Old Town is not a realistic option. Agree the pickup point before you start.
