Cinco de Drinko Block Party on Beach Blvd

Baresco plans to turn part of Pompano Beach Boulevard into a free Cinco de Mayo street party on Tuesday, May 5, with music, tacos and margaritas running into the evening. (eventbrite.com) The event is scheduled for 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 225 North Pompano Beach Boulevard, in the stretch between Beach House and Baresco in Pompano Beach. Admission is free, and organizers are asking guests to RSVP in advance. (eventbrite.com) Listings from Visit Lauderdale and Boca magazine describe it as an annual block party rather than a one-off restaurant promotion. Both say the setup will spill outdoors with DJs, street bars, taco stations and luchador appearances. (visitlauderdale.com) (bocamag.com) That matters in Pompano Beach because the event is being pitched as a street-level draw on the barrier island, not just a dinner service inside one venue. Beach House Pompano is also promoting the same celebration on its events calendar, tying the activation to neighboring businesses on the boulevard. (beachhousepompano.com) The event pages also frame the party as family-friendly, even as the branding leans on cocktails and tequila-heavy Cinco de Mayo fare. A 2025 community listing for the same block party advertised face painting, vendors, live music and drink specials, suggesting the format has mixed kids’ activities with bar service before. (bocamag.com) (newpelican.com) Baresco’s own event page says guests should expect tacos, margaritas, music and a “street-level takeover,” while Visit Pompano Beach says the party is set to run from day into night. Those descriptions place the event alongside the restaurant district’s broader push to turn holiday weekends into outdoor foot-traffic events. (eatbaresco.com) (visitpompanobeach.com) For now, the pitch is simple: show up on May 5, expect the block between Beach House and Baresco to be part of the party, and reserve ahead if you want a spot on the guest list.
