Capitol Hill Latin Block Party: Fogon throwing two-day Cinco de Mayo celebration on Belmont Ave

Now in its 14th year serving the neighborhood, Fogón Cocina Mexicana is expanding its annual street celebration of Cinco de Mayo to a two-day block party this weekend.

Here’s the hype from Seattle personality Corteezyy who is promising a weekend of DJs, tacos, margaritas, and Tamborazo on Belmont Ave just off E Pine.

First opened in 2012, Fogon has grown into a food and drink family on Capitol Hill. Its most recent family connection can be found on E Pike where The Counter Shoppe opened earlier this year.

Over the years, its Cinco de Mayo bashes have grown and spilled out onto the street.

2026 will bring the largest celebration yet with two days of Seattle spring including a forecast for sun and 78 F on Sunday.

The 21+ over event will run from 2 to 10 PM each day and will have a $10 cover charge.

It will follow a day of big crowds and solidarity with workers as the city’s 2026 May Day march steps off from Cal Anderson Park on Friday.
