What:

Several members of the Hispanic League Board of Directors and Staff met discussed recent challenges that we are experiencing as we plan for this year’s Fiesta. Among them are an increase of the Covid 19 Delta and Lambda variants in our community, decrease and withdrawal of vendors/sponsors (mostly due to lack of staffing), and concerns of recruiting our 300+ volunteers needed to make Fiesta the event we have come to love and enjoy!
After a lengthy discussion of many options, the decision was made to change our plans for Fiesta. We are moving FIESTA to an outdoor Drive-In Concert on Friday Night, September 10 instead of a traditional Fiesta on Saturday.
The Fiesta: Concert Under the Stars event will be FREE at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds.
Families have the option of being socially distanced by staying in their vehicles or if fully vaccinated are invited to bring their lawn chairs to enjoy the concert outside of their vehicles. In addition to a stellar lineup of entertainment that includes, Mariachi Los Galleros, Takiri Folklor Latino (Colombian), West End Mambo, and Los Acoustic Guys, we will be welcoming Los Planeros from Puerto Rico and A la Topa Tolondra from Colombia. In addition, there will be special recognition for the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Heroes which would have been on Saturday.
Because of the importance of staying healthy during this pandemic, both drive-through vaccines and car seat checks for children will be available beginning at 4:00 pm followed by a fabulous evening of entertainment that begins at 5:30 pm. Latin Food Trucks and assorted beverages will be available for all to enjoy.
As you can imagine it has been a whirlwind of phone calls and emails trying to inform all who participate in Fiesta each year but our naming sponsor, Truist, and many other generous sponsors are applauding us for making this cautious choice. To help protect all who attend, each vehicle will be receiving masks and hand sanitizer as they enter with additional information about coming events.
