Mexican Fiesta
brings the sound, culture and taste of México to Milwaukee’s Lakefront!
Mexican Fiesta brings the sound, culture and taste of Mexico to Milwaukee's lakefront this coming August 27, 28, 29, 2010. Join in on the fun as we celebrate three days of fun, food, Mariachi and fiesta for everyone. Mexican Fiesta is more than just a celebration, it is a vigorous declaration of community spirit at its best. Education is the key to the future, and through scholarship awards, the festival becomes the gateway to young Hispanics taking their rightful place in society by continuing education. Mexican Fiesta is a cultural foundation concentrating on providing education and cultural events for the growing Hispanic community. Our festival honors culture, tradition, and family. Mexican Fiesta encourages individuals from all ethnic backgrounds to share in the beauty of Mexico's rich history, art, music and food. Today, Mexican Fiesta is the Midwest's largest Hispanic (paid entrance) festival.
Our attractive Cultural Village will be host to mouth watering Pan de Feria-traditional festival bread baked fresh every day by master bakers Carlos Roldan and Moises Martinez, and over 40 artisans from the states of México displaying their art work and merchandise from each individual state.
The Mexican Fiesta festival has been the catalyst for dozens of other Mexican festivals throughout the state and the nation. This summer attraction, featuring a variety of entertainment from throughout Latin America, colorful folkloric dancers, cultural exhibits and authentic Mexican cuisine, is held at the Henry W. Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 27, 28, and 29, 2010.
The Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation (WHSF) provides a cultural and educational environment to enhance and improve academic success of the Hispanic Community while promoting a better understanding of the arts, history, literature and the perpetuation of Hispanic culture. WHSF assists in opening opportunities for advancement of the quality of life among Hispanics. To date, WHSF has provided over $800,000 in college scholarships.
