Fiesta Topeka News Update:
TOPEKA, KS (March 8, 2023) – The Our Lady of Guadalupe (OLG) Fiesta Topeka Coordinating Committee today announced plans for a 90th anniversary celebration of the beloved cultural festival, Fiesta Topeka, scheduled for July 18-22 on the OLG church grounds (Atchison and Chandler).
What began in 1933 as a modest, single-day church festival in the predominantly Mexican American neighborhood of Oakland in Topeka, has evolved into the single most important celebration of Mexican culture and tradition in the Midwest. Fiesta Topeka continues to be a major fundraiser to educate students and provide staff at Holy Family School.
“Every July we are thrilled because through our Fiesta Topeka we get the opportunity to share with so many people our heritage, our food, our dances, our music. It is just a great time to enjoy as a family,” remarked Fr. Dan Coronado, Pastor, Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. “As we get set to celebrate our 90th year, we really would like to thank all our partners and sponsors for their support to Fiesta Topeka!”
In this monumental year, and with this year’s theme, A Legacy of Pride, Passion & Culture, Fiesta Topeka offers all the Mexican traditions & cuisine, music, dance and art that patrons are grown accustomed to. The event will expand across the entire month of July with nine events and activities. The crowning jewel is the Fiesta Topeka Festival which returns to a five-day event, featuring the fan favorite carnival and midway.
“We’re pleased to bring a renewed vigor and vision in planning and building on the 90 year legacy. We’re so excited to showcase the many new and exciting partnerships and attractions, yet maintain all that people love about our Fiesta Topeka!” said Deborah Ortega, Fiesta Topeka Committee Chair. “There is something for all ages to enjoy!”
