We’re celebrating Fabiola Martinez, our Festival Director, on receiving the Faces of Fusion Arts & Culture Achievement Award🎉

The Día de los Mu***os Atlantic Festiva in Saint John NB exists because of her vision, her passion, and her love of sharing her culture with this community. She has created something vibrant and meaningful that brings people together, builds understanding, and adds real depth to the cultural life of Saint John. This recognition reflects years of dedication, care, and heart, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Please join us in congratulating Fabiola and celebrating this well deserved moment.

Congratulations as well to all of the nominees and recipients. A city grows through the people who invest their creativity and energy into shaping it, and it was inspiring to see that commitment honoured.

Thank you to our festival team, volunteers, family, friends, and supporters who continue to show up year after year. And thank you to Fusion Saint John for celebrating our city and recognizing the people who help shape it.

Hi, it’s Erica. I help Fabi with the website for the Día de los Mu***os festival. Fabi is not the kind of person to toot her own horn, so the team and I are happy to do it for her.

Fabiola Martinez has been nominated for a Faces of Fusion award Fusion Saint John

If you have ever been part of this festival, you already know how much of her heart lives inside it. This is not just something she organizes. It is something she carries. Year-round. With care, patience, and a deep sense of responsibility to her culture, the artists, the youth, and this community.

From the very first festival to now, she has poured herself into making this space what it is.

The entire team at Día de los Mu***os is so proud of her and grateful to support the work she does.

Congratulations, Fabi.
This recognition is so well deserved.

And congratulations as well to all of the other nominees. It is good to see so many different contributions being recognized.
