May the Fourth Be with You - Star Wars Day, May 4

Star Wars fanatics and lovers of snacks unite! You don't have to know who Luke's father is or speak Ewok to appreciate a snack bar full of sci-fi fun and nostalgia. Pair your snack bar with an outdoor showing of your franchise favorite under the stars!

Celebrate Mexican History and Heritage - Cinco de Mayo, May 5

Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's victory over the French at the battle of Puebla in 1862. This day provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate Mexico's rich culture with food, music, and of course, festive decor. Host a live cooking demo and invite residents to make authentic tacos and guacamole. For drinks, toast your neighbors with a Mexican coke, cerveza (beer), or tequila cocktail.

Run for the Roses - Kentucky Derby, May 6

Break out the big hats, stir up a pitcher of fresh mint juleps, and treat your residents to a day at the races with a Kentucky Derby party. Treat your community to a table of southern classics (think pimento cheese or deviled eggs) and decorate your buffet table with red roses in champion style.

All About the Moms - Mother's Day, May 15

Treat yo' self - mom edition. Coffee, flowers, brunch, chocolate, mimosas, spa kits - there are so many ways to make the moms in your community feel special this Mother's Day. Stick the landing with an eye-catching presentation and something special for each mom to take home, or for residents to gift their own mom or another mother figure in their life.

Grill Out and Chill Out - Memorial Day, May 29

A three-day weekend and the official start of pool season? Sounds like a great excuse to celebrate with neighbors in true American style - with a good old-fashioned cookout. Take it to the next level with live music to keep the party atmosphere rockin' all afternoon long.
