Pachamama – Cinco De Mayo and Saturday Salsa
On Tuesday 5 May, Pachamama turns up the volume for a Cinco De Mayo celebration that’s equal parts fiesta and free-spirited fun. No bookings, no pressure, just come as you are and let the night unfold.
From 5pm, expect live music setting the mood, salsa dancing if you’re feeling it, and a photobooth you won’t be able to resist. Face painting is there for the bold. The rest is up to you.
Make your way to Pachamama from 5PM and join the celebration.
Sunset Salsa on the Rooftop every Saturday, when the rooftop comes alive with music, movement and the joy of social dance. Start the night with a complimentary introduction from the Sabor Dance Company, then join the crowd as the sun sets and the salsa begins. No experience needed, just bring your energy.
