Dubuque Latinx Fiesta 2023

Celebrating and honoring Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month in Dubuque!

Join Dubuque Unidos for a fun block-style fiesta right outside of Smokestack in Dubuque, on September 30, 2023, from 2 to 8 pm, as we celebrate the third Dubuque Latinx Fiesta organized by Dubuque Unidos. The fiesta has continued into its third year with its ongoing hope that attendees get to experience more of the Latinx culture by being exposed to music, arts, food, and their Latinx neighbors. The event brings vendors from the Tri-State area - food, merchandise, performers, and bands. The group aims to fill in the gap of supporting the Latinx community, be an opportunity for organizations to meet with local Latinx members, and network in ways that may not often happen. This event will be bilingual in nature, empowering and celebrating our Spanish-speaking Latinx communities while providing English accessibility to our neighbors!

Dubuque Unidos is an organization made up of 14 Latinx young professionals who are all striving towards the same goal – bringing cultural and educational awareness of the Latinx cultures to the Dubuque community. Through Dubuque Unidos, we are looking to educate, celebrate the diversity in our Latinx culture, and enrich Dubuque’s thriving communities. This year, Dubuque Unidos is excited to introduce its first board - President Yara Isabel Lopez, Vice-President Arantxa Martinez Resendiz, Treasurer Sergio Perez, Marketing Director Ivonne Simmonds Fals, and Secretary Clara Lopez.

The Dubuque Latinx Fiesta 2022 was possible thanks to the generosity of their 2022 sponsors - Loras College, Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, Multicultural Family Center, the DRA and Dubuque Community Members. As members continue with their planning efforts for the Dubuque Latinx Fiesta 2023, they are looking to reach more partnerships and sponsors.

Local and regional Hispanic/Latinx vendors of crafted or imported goods, dancers, artists, musicians, and performers are encouraged to participate. Resource booths will also be available for non-profit organizations that want to share their services and resources with the Hispanic/Latinx community.
