Milwaukee, WI (May 22, 2020) – The Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (WHSF) proud sponsor of Mexican Fiesta, has announced the cancellation of their festival scheduled for August 21, 22 & 23, 2020 at the Henry W. Maier Festival Park.

“The WHSF’s board has come to the very hard decision to cancel Mexican Fiesta 2020. Due to Covid-19 and the ongoing state of our country, we felt that the responsibility of keeping our community, volunteers, and coordinators safe was our top priority,” said Teresa C. Mercado, Executive Director.

WHSF/Mexican Fiesta would like to thank all the volunteers, sponsors, media, and all of the festival-goers for their continued support. Mexican Fiesta as we know it, might be canceled for 2020, but we have no intention of letting our mission, culture, and love for our community be compromised this year. We are currently working on different ideas, activities, and events that will help us maintain WHSF’s mission and spirit all summer long, with the necessary precautions. Save the date for MEXICAN FIESTA 2021 (AUG. 27, 28 & 29).
