Mexican Fiesta
Henry Maier Festival Park downtown Milwaukee at Lakefront, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
From its beginnings as a modest South Side street party in the ’70s, Mexican Fiesta grew into one of the Midwest’s largest celebrations of Hispanic culture and a mainstay of the Milwaukee summer festival calendar. This year the event celebrates its 45th anniversary with another three days of music, food and merriment. Highlights include a genealogy exhibit, a Friday night Día de los Muertos parade, more than 150 arts and craft vendors, a car and motorcycle show, a tequila tasting bar, art workshops, and a bounty of mariachi bands. (Through Sunday, Aug. 26.)
