“I’m tired of missing out on cool food events,” is something I imagine some of you are saying sometimes. Or maybe not. I know I hate missing out on cool stuff, so I guess this is mostly for me. You can use it, too, if you want.
Friday
30th El Reno Burger Day Festival
For 30 years, El Reno has been celebrating its most famous son: the fried onion burger. And now you can join in the fun with musical acts starting Friday at 5:30 p.m. For the more food-focused events, you’ll want to be on Main Street starting at 10 a.m. Saturday. They’ll be cooking “The Big One” — an 850 lb. fried onion burger cooked in the town square. Visit www.elrenoburgerday.com for tickets.

Saturday
It’s Cinco de Mayo, which is...not actually as big a deal in Mexico as it is here. In Mexico, it’s a historical celebration. In America, we treat it like Mexican St. Patrick’s Day. And there are a lot of options in Oklahoma City.
The Yard's Cinco on 7th Street
The Yard’s party runs from 11 a.m.-2 a.m. There’s a big stage, live music, tacos from Cultivar and corn dogs from Mighty Corn Dog. There will be a semi on site so they won't run out of beer, shots or margaritas.
