Make your Cinco de Mayo celebration about more than margaritas and head over to Olé Mexican Grill (11 Springfield Street, Cambridge) on May 5. The restaurant is transforming into a mini Mexico City, complete with a mariachi band, Mexican street food, sangria, and — worry not — margaritas. The event runs from 4 pm to midnight and the cost is $25; call 617.492.4495 for reservations and information.
