Head over to Saint Paul’s West Side for "La Fiesta Mas Caliente de Minnesota"—Minnesota’s Spiciest Celebration—Cinco de Mayo! Mexican and other Latino organizations celebrate their culture by hosting a variety of performances. Aside from delicious food, you can expect to see a colorful parade, a lowrider car show and music to keep the party going all day (and evening) long.

Turn on the science at the Science Museum of Minnesota, where educational and interactive exhibits and attractions teach about technology, natural history, physical science and more! Travel back in time at the Dinosaur and Fossils Gallery, see what’s really on the inside at the Human Body Gallery, play mini-golf to learn about erosion in the Big Back Yard, and much, much more.

Dine on a sophisticated burger at The Blue Door Pub as you taste some of the best brews on tap. Try some of the trademark Juicy Blucys, like the original Blucy, the Luau or the Frenchy, that have made it onto Food Network shows. Pair your dinner up with some beer or wine, and you have a wonderful end to a long day.

Turn your coffee break into a coffee experience. Kopplin’s Coffee offers coffee, espresso and chocolate specialty drinks as well as delectable, freshly-made baked goods and deli edibles. This Fair Trade establishment prides itself on providing the purest, most flavorful beverages in a warm aesthetic environment.
