Fiesta is bright – and so is the clothing! Grab the most colorful items in your closet, your flower crown or “corona” and remember to bring a sash for your medal collection. We recommend comfortable shoes for all the walking and dancing you will be doing! Check out more Fiesta fashion.

As a long-standing tradition, people go on a mission to obtain and wear as many Fiesta medals as possible. You will see people wearing their weight in medals – fastened to sashes, jackets, hats and more. Get your own Fiesta medals at various events throughout the 11-day celebration!

Each year, new kings, queens, princesses, and more are added to the Fiesta Royalty Court. These members of the Fiesta court are selected by committees based on their charitable work. 

Grab the VIA Park and Ride to events like NIOSA and the parades. Rideshare is also a good option to get to Fiesta events. Should you choose to drive, take cash, as many parking lots do not accept credit cards.
