It's July!!! That means there is only 2 more weeks until ¡Fiesta: A Celebration of Latino Culture!

¡Fiesta! is a free, family-friendly festival that features food, entertainment and education focusing on Latin American countries. Presented in partnership with Veridian Credit Union and other community organizations and businesses, the ¡Fiesta! Celebration will take place on Saturday, July 18, 2026.

This event has been a part of Cedar Valley social life for more than 14 years with a few updates to the name, season, event location and time frame along the way. From its origin as a Cinco de Mayo festival and later as Fiesta de Mayo, it has evolved to become ¡Fiesta!

Special features include taqueria trucks and other Latin American food vendors, live entertainment, traditional dance performances, and children’s activities including crafts, games (among them the beloved piñata), and face painting.
