Birmingham Gears Up for the 22nd Annual Fiesta Bham
Birmingham is buzzing with excitement as it prepares for its largest celebration of Hispanic culture and heritage, Fiesta Bham, set to take place on Saturday, September 28. This year marks the 22nd anniversary of this beloved festival, which will be hosted at Linn Park. Residents and visitors alike are invited to immerse themselves in the rich traditions and vibrant energy of Birmingham’s Hispanic community.
Music, Dance, and More
As attendees step into the festival, they will be welcomed by a lineup that features a variety of cultural activities. Music will take center stage, with the main performance from Oro Solido, a renowned merengue group hailing from New York. Their lively rhythms promise to get everyone on their feet and dancing.
In addition, festival-goers will have the opportunity to explore five distinct villages, each showcasing a unique aspect of Birmingham’s Hispanic culture. From art to gastronomy, every village will offer something special, allowing attendees to experience the diversity that enriches our community.
Family-Friendly Activities
One of the highlights of Fiesta Bham is its family-friendly activities, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy. From engaging games for young children to informative workshops for adults, the festival promises a day filled with excitement and learning. It’s a perfect occasion to bring the whole family out for a day of fun and connection.
Supporting Education in the Community
As part of its commitment to uplifting the local Hispanic community, Fiesta Bham also champions education through the Fiesta Scholars program. This initiative awards annual scholarships to talented students pursuing their educational aspirations in Alabama. Over the past two decades, the program has distributed nearly $130,000 in scholarships, helping Hispanic students chart their educational paths. High school seniors or currently enrolled students in Alabama are encouraged to apply for these scholarships.
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
Fiesta Bham coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated in the United States from September 15 to October 15. This annual observance recognizes the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the nation and acknowledges the profound impact of their culture. It’s a fitting backdrop for a festival dedicated to celebrating these communities and their rich heritage.
