The May holiday is just a day away, and with that in mind, we've got a few events -- most of them music and food related -- for your perusal and consideration. If you're looking for more to do, take a gander at this list of festivals and markets, or, as always, check out the events listings on our website.

Bonus: As Cinco de Mayo is happening right after the holiday, a few places are doing Cinco de Mayo specials over the break, so we've thrown those on the list as well.

Not to Miss Highlight:

Migas Mercado is teaming up with LTN and C-Baila for a massive party that's not to be missed: Barrio Fino, Vol. 1. Party to the beats of renowned Beijing DJs Arquitect and Johnny with added fun like a limbo challenge PERRO competition, dance animations, a lucky draw, and lots more up on one of the most happening rooftops in Beijing! Every ticket comes with one drink to kick off the night right, so grab yours today!
