2017 Event
We were humbled to hear that this year’s Fiesta del Pueblo was the largest ever recorded in downtown Raleigh, with over 28,000 in attendance. we’d like to thank the artists, food vendors, nonprofits and bands who participated, as well as the dozens of volunteers who helped make this one of our all-time favorite iterations of #LaFiesta del Pueblo. Stay tuned for next year as we prepare to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the largest Latinx festival in the Triangle!
