Slowly turning rotisseries of roasting meats. Traditional dancers clad in flashy costumes. Colorful carnival rides sending guests soaring and circling. These are just a few of the sights that you can expect to see at the Mexican Fiesta this year, held at the Henry Maier Festival Park August 25th to the 27th.

The four-day fest celebrates all aspects of culture from south of the border, including music, food, and traditions. So don't be surprised if you encounter festival-goers with their faces painted in honor of Dia De Los Muertos or ballet folklorico dancers twirling to the beat in traditional full skirts. From a non-stop torrent of live music to a jam-packed roster of food vendors and arts and crafts exhibitors, the Mexican Fiesta promises plenty of things to do and see. It typically attracts more than 85,000 guests over the course of the weekend, so snag your tickets now ($14 each) to be part of the fun.
