Miami Beach, FL – May 5, 2023 – On May 5th, host Curb Gardner II gathered an eclectic group of friends at his 2nd Annual  CINCO De MAYO FIESTA 2023 at El Salon’, nestled inside of the ESMÉ on Espanola Way. The event was a farewell send-off to Miami snowbirds retreating North and to Europe for the summer, as well as a celebration of the birthdays of Jacqui Colyer, Bob Rosenberg, Mary Wolfson, and Warde Manuel. The dinner party was attended by 40 guests making up Miami’s culturally and philanthropic savvy, artists, dignitaries and power brokers.

The room was uniquely curated for the Mexican fiesta, and provided the perfect ambiance for the occasion. The evening began with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, featuring crafted margaritas and a seven-piece mariachi band and progressed to a delicious four-course seated dinner of Mexican-inspired cuisine.

During the event, a special tribute was given to celebrity LPGA Golfers Dana Bates, Chela Quintana, and Susie Redman, as well as spiritual coaching therapist, Shalaine Billups who were in town to teach and inspire underserved teen golfers at the Historic Hampton House’s Inaugural Birdies To Eagles Invitational Classic held at the Miami Beach Golf Course providing college scholarships in conjunction with the 5013c, Golf. My Future. My Game.

Being such the hit two years in a row, this CINCO De MAYO party is an annual celebration that guests say they’ll never, ever miss!
