Cinco de Cuatro

The 5th of May, better known as Cinco de Mayo is a holiday we are all familiar with. But we must rally to put Cinco de Mayo behind us once and for all. We must crush this awful Holiday as we know it, and embrace a new, better, stronger, earlier Holiday, the celebration of Cinco de Cuatro!

Cinco de Cuatro is a Newport Beach Holiday started in 1982 by Lucille and George Bluth. It was the perfect way to destroy all Cinco de Mayo food and decorations so that Lucille’s Hispanic staff wouldn’t take May 5th off. It was all part of the Bluth’s “war on May the 5th”.

The festival grew over the years and was eventually embraced by the Hispanic community. The annual event concludes with a boat parade called “The Festival of Lights,” a phrase the Bluths wanted to reclaim. So this year, find some Cinco de Mayo decorations and smash them to tiny bits on the REAL Holiday of Cinco de Cuatro!

Happy Cinco de Cuatro to all and to all a Good night!

We are a 3rd generation, family-owned retail experience! We are unique, eclectic, sometimes irreverent, and sometimes weird (and we are referring to both the staff and the store). In short, we are as far removed from a "Hallmark style" cookie-cutter chain store as you can get. We want to share with you what makes us different, and why that's a good thing. We have been amusing ourselves and the Shadyside community for more than 40 years, and now its time to share the love.

Calendars!

We pride ourselves on our knowledge of holidays, both real and fake. Every month we compile these into a handy guide.
