May is nationally recognized as Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month. This fifth annual celebration offers themed food, performances, culinary demos, and children's activities.

For something that's so incredibly healthy and tasty, something that's like the opposite of cancer, the JuiceLand empire sure does metastasize quickly, doesn't it?And now, continuing its glorious march toward ubiquity, the homegrown emporium of life-affirming liquids and natural noms opens its latest node on South First – and, for this inaugural day of celebration, offers half-price smoothies and juices to all comers at that location. Plus, face painting, a prize wheel, live music, and a couple of comedians insulting you from inside a dunk tank.Note: Dunk those smartasses, and you're helping support Casa Marianella!

Tacos! Live music! And, yes, lucha libre wrestling! This second annual event fills your Saturday with a spicy spectacle of sights and sounds, as Jenny and the Mexicats, Los Skarnales, Superfónicos, and eight-time Austin Music Award-winning artist Gina Chavez provide the music for a night featuring treats from 15 of Austin's top taquerias – and a pop-up ring of masked wrestlers battling for victory.

This beery extravagance benefits Divine Canines. Buy a glass at Blue Owl Brewery and use it for free pints at 25 breweries all over town, for the entire month of May. We mean, like, Black Star Co-op, Celis, NXNW, Southern Heights, Real Ale, St. Elmo, Thirsty Planet, and a whole pantheon of others.

Five … twelve? Yes, because all day long, on May 12 (that's 5/12, yes), at all the Little Woodrow's locations in town, you can enjoy pints from (512) Brewing, Tequila 512, and Woody’s Ritas made with Tequila 512 for $5.12. Now that's a numbers game that anybody can win!

Treat your mother to a delightful Victorian afternoon tea at this posh Downtown venue, featuring French pastries and petits fours, including chocolate tulip cups and cream puffs; delicate tea sandwiches – cucumber and smoked salmon with dill goat cheese, deviled egg on brioche, and green tea ricotta and pistachio on multi-grain – accompanied with loose-leaf teas and sparkling wine.
