Food and dance are just two of the most popular ways to immerse oneself in the festivities.
The tastes of Mexico, Chile, Cuba, Colombia, Peru, and El Salvador can be found in many forms from over 25+ authentic food vendors on site.
Beer gardens will be found throughout this vibrant area, selling everything from red and white sangria, mojitos, margaritas, wine and spirits, and imported beers.
There will also be over 70+ authentic artisan and community vendors to check out, celebrating, sharing, and selling products, arts, crafts, and more.
International and local live music, folkloric dance performances, and dance lessons are always present over the course of the weekend.
Music from all over will surely inspire you to get those hips moving, with acts that include Dominican Republic Grammy winners “Fulanito” and triple-Grammy and double-Juno award winner “Alex Cuba” from Guadalajara Mexico.
In its 13th annual festival, it’s so nice to have it back and it sounds like it’s going to be bigger and better than ever.
This free event is kid-friendly.
Fiestaval is held in the heart of downtown Calgary the weekend after the Stampede ends, so keep the party going and join the big fiesta.
