A patio or back yard makes a great location for a Cinco de Mayo fiesta.
Stringing chili pepper lights above the selected location or along a roof or fence adds a playful touch.
Cover tabletops with plastic tablecloths in bright yellow, red, turquoise, orange, hot pink,
or whatever festive patterns are available at your favorite party store, and set about bouquets of colorful crepe paper flowers or Mexican table flags.
