Bring Latin American culture to life across the City Centre and Braddon 

Last year, more than 7,000 people attended La Fiesta, and this year we want visitors to continue experiencing the flavours, music, arts, entertainment and culture of Latin America before and after the festival. 

If you are a business, community group, venue or organisation located in the City Centre or Braddon (the CCMIL Collection Zone), we invite you to create a Latin American-themed event between 30 October  – 15 November and become part of the La Fiesta fringe program. 

How to get involved
