Cinco De Mayo Week is a holiday event which is themed around the Mexican holiday Cinco De Mayo, which is celebrated on the 5th of May of every year (Cinco De Mayo means Fifth Of May in Spanish).
A special, limited-time Pinata Whistle is available for 5000 gems in the Growtopia Store during the event. It's a consumable which spawns an Ultra Pinata in random place. During the week, Ultra Piñata event can also occur randomly without consuming a whistle. As of 2017, the Ultra pinata no longer stays in a fixed position, but it can move anywhere around the world, including in blocks. This renders full dirt worlds useless. You can receive various items listed below during this event:
Purchase the Pinata Whistle for 5000 in the Growtopia Store.
"Having trouble finding a Piñata to smash? Want to keep the party going after Cinco De Mayo is over? Grab a Piñata Whistle and you can start a Piñata Bash anytime you want! Whistles only work once, and make sure you have some friends nearby, because you can't party alone."
Item which spawns from using a Pinata Whistle. Item itself is unobtainable.
2014
In 2014, the event began on May 2nd and ran through into the week as well. A new item called the Mystery Pinata was introduced where items could be dropped onto the pinata to make new items.
