Tios offering Cinco de Mayo festival; Liberty Street to be closed

Ah, Cinco de Mayo, the celebration to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla. A day to celebrate Mexican heritage. Also known as the day in which people have an excuse to drink in the middle of the day and co-opt another culture. So why not do it right at Tios Mexican Cafe?

They will have live music by Tumbao Bravo and Los Gatos, a Flamenco dancing exhibition and Mezcal worms available to be eaten by the brave—or the very drunk. Liberty Street will be closed between Division and Thompson streets.

Michigan's own New Holland Brewery will be taking over the taps, and other other specialty craft beers will be available. There will also be $5 tequila flights.

The best part? Tios will be open until 2 a.m. So you can be certain to awaken Monday morning fully hung over and ready to face the work week.

Call 734-761-6650 to reserve a table on the patio.

Sunday, May 5, 2013. 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Tios is located at 401 E. Liberty, Ann Arbor.
