SUMMARY:Fiesta & Facts Cinco de Mayo Trivia Night
DESCRIPTION:Fiesta & Facts Cinco de Mayo Trivia Night brings a themed twist to trivia night at Outer Light Brewing Company\, shifting the usual midweek format to Tuesday\, May 5 to align with Cinco de Mayo. The event keeps the familiar four-round trivia structure but builds around a more festive atmosphere\, combining games with food and drink specials throughout the evening. Doors open at 4:00 PM\, giving teams time to settle in before the main event. \nThe taproom will feature a mix of house lagers and margarita specials\, creating a lineup that fits both the brewery setting and the holiday theme. Starting at 6:00 PM\, Taqueria Cinco will be serving $4 street tacos\, adding a casual\, food-forward element that pairs easily with the drinks. The combination of tacos\, beer\, and themed cocktails gives the event a steady flow leading into trivia. \nTrivia begins at 6:30 PM\, with teams encouraged to arrive early to secure a table and get set up. The shift from Wednesday to Tuesday makes this a one-week-only change\, adding a sense of timing to the event. With its mix of competition\, food\, and Cinco de Mayo energy\, Fiesta & Facts offers a structured but social night out built around both gameplay and atmosphere.
