Fiesta Latina

WNMU ¡Fiesta Latina! is back again for another year, happening June 5-8 2025.

Western New Mexico University acknowledges the deep roots New Mexico shares with Mexico. The territory of New Mexico gained statehood in 1912, yet the people living in the border regions and beyond continue to be influenced by these roots in all aspects of culture– art, food, music, language, and customs. As a Hispanic Serving Institution, Western New Mexico University and WNMU ¡Fiesta Latina! aim to highlight those connections by creating fun, engaging, educational experiences for folks living in or visiting the borderlands to enjoy.

WNMU ¡Fiesta Latina! is a cultural event organized by Western New Mexico University that seeks to recognize, celebrate, and assist in the preservation of New Mexico’s connection with its Mexican heritage, customs, and traditions. The four-day outdoor festival on the beautiful Silver City campus features a juried artisan mercado featuring the traditional folk art of more than 50 artisans from throughout Mexico, Latin music and dance performances, food and drink, children’s activities, hands on crafting workshops, films, demonstrations and more.

Ticketed events include the tequila tasting and the Saturday night headline concert! Available at www.fiestalatina.org
