Our Mission
The mission of Fiesta is "to organize and manage a yearly festival that celebrates and educates the public on the diverse cultures within the Hispanic community in Alabama." Year after year, this mission continues to be fulfilled!
Fiesta seeks "to educate the mainstream public about the many different Hispanic countries and cultures through the best of art, music, dance and food." Simply stated, Hispanic music is more than Ricky Martin "Living La Vida Loca." The food is more than tacos with salsa. The dance is more than a Mexican Hat Dance. And history is surprising to many.
Highspanics aren’t really newcomers to this country. In fact, Hispanics arrived in this country more than 500 years ago on the shores of America. It is up to the Hispanics in Alabama to passionately tell our stories and share our rich cultures and traditions with Alabamians of all ages. And while sharing our stories, it allows us to learn even more about ourselves and how we can best weave ourselves into the communities where we live. What better way to do this than through an event like Fiesta!
