In May, these are some of the topics that matter most in Paraguay:
- Public holidays & Fiestas Patrias: Labour Day on May 1 as well as the Independence Days on May 14 and 15 shape the month. Around the Fiestas Patrias, an official programme with music and other activities is planned again in 2026. → Holidays in Paraguay 2026 ·More on the Fiestas Patrias ↗
- Mother’s Day: In Paraguay, May 15 is both a public holiday and Mother’s Day. That makes it an especially important date for family life, celebrations, and often also for restaurant plans or gift shopping. → Mother’s Day in Paraguay: Recipe Ideas and Small Gifts
- Cooler nights: From May onwards, mornings and evenings often start to feel noticeably cooler. A good time to slowly adapt clothing, daily routines, and maybe even your kitchen to the cooler season. → Climate and Weather in Paraguay

This classic sweet pumpkin dessert fits the season especially well. It is simple to make and a lovely way to use up larger amounts of pumpkin.
