Mexican Star Wars Fiesta

Overview

Tauntauns and tequila might not seem like the most obvious match, but you can expect both this Friday night at Brown Alley on Lonsdale Street. In a week that boasts both Star Wars Day (aka May the Fourth) and Cinco de Mayo, the CBD nightspot is celebrating both with a Mexican Star Wars Fiesta. Costumes inspired by either theme are highly encouraged. We've always wondered what Darth Vader would look like in a sombrero.

In addition to the costume competition (yes, there will be prizes), the night will feature a whole rebel squadron of live performers, including mariachis and a salsa orchestra as well as Mexican and Latin DJs. The full lineup can be found via the event page on Facebook. There'll also be a galactic piñata. Not entirely sure what that entails, but it sounds great.
