Dive Into Summer with a Poolside Fiesta

Cinco de Mayo is the perfect time to celebrate with friends and family in your backyard. The summer season is just warming up, and a fiesta is in order!

Why not kick it all off with an all-family cocktail like this true blue PebbleTec Pool punch on ice? (See below) Next, add chips, salsa and a batch of homemade quesadillas.  Add a little festive music. And, now you have all the fixings for a party. 

Here are some additional ideas to make the party even more festive:

  • Set the Scene: Decorate the pool area with colorful inflatables and themed decorations to create a fun atmosphere.
  • Create a Relaxing Lounge Area: Set up comfortable seating areas with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels where guests can relax and soak up the sun.
  • Provide Entertainment: Keep guests entertained with pool games like volleyball, float races, or a swimming contest.
  • Add Some DIY Extras: Consider adding a photo booth with props for guests to capture memories, or set up a DIY quesadilla bar (recipe below) for fun culinary experience.
  • Think About Lighting: If your party will extend into the evening, add some ambient lighting around the pool area with string lights, lanterns, or torches for a warm, welcoming vibe.
