Welcome to Mexican Fiesta this weekend in Milwaukee! This proud Milwaukee ethnic festival had its roots in a 1973 parade celebrating Mexican Independence Day that took place on a south side street. Mexican Fiesta has been a popular part of the Milwaukee festival line up at the Summerfest Grounds since 1977 and is one of the largest paid entrance Hispanic festivals in the Midwest!
Enjoy the arts and crafts, vendors, food, and entertainment today through Sunday from noon to midnight each day. Milwaukee Public Library will have a table in the Cultural Pavilion on Saturday, 8/22, from noon to 5:00 p.m. Please stop by to see us and say "¡Hola!"
