Since 1967, Fiesta Day has been a celebration of Hispanic culture in Colorado. 2013 is the 47th Anniversary of Fiesta Day and the creation of the CSF Fiesta Pageant. Fiesta Day kicks off with the Fiesta Day Parade and continues throughout the day on the Fairgrounds. Highlights include music, dancing, art, and presentation of the Fiesta Queen. Schedules will be posted as they become available.

 

 

The theme for 2013 "La Fuerza de los Suenos" will focus on the dreams and goals we have for ourselves and how our Hispanic culture draws personal and collective strength from our pursuite of those dreams.  All floats should focus on the dreams/aspirations of our ancestors and future generations.

 

The CSF Fiesta Committee wants to continue our new tradition within the Fiesta Day Parade.  All entries are asked to decorate with live plants.  Any entry with live plants will receive bonus points towards awards.

 

Float Awards (given prior to start of parade):

Most Traditional, Judges' Choice, Most Beautiful, Most Creative, Best Fitting Parade Theme, Best Costumes

 

Parade Awards (announced at the Pepsi Stage during the Queen and Court performance):

School Spirit, Marching Unit, Saddle Club, Best Presentation by a Band

As an organization affiliated with the Colorado State Fair, we have an office and conduct business at the Fairgrounds. All funds needed for operation come from corporate sponsorship and fundraisers, like our Noche de Fiesta. We invite anyone interested in promoting our culture through events like our Fiesta Pageant or Fiesta Day Parade to please join us. We also provide the Fair with input on the entertainment for Fiesta Day.
