About La Fiesta del Pueblo
La Fiesta del Pueblo is the Triangle’s largest and most diverse festival of Latin American culture, featuring live music and dance performances, artisanal vendors, food trucks, educational booths, and activities for the whole family!
Our History
The first La Fiesta del Pueblo was held in 1994 at the Lincoln Center in Chapel Hill, NC. A year later, El Pueblo was officially incorporated as a non-profit to serve the Latin American community in NC. We celebrated the first La Fiesta del Pueblo to create a sense of community, to feature and celebrate our culture, and to share resources with our communities. At that very first festival, we had close to 1,000 people attend. We had no idea then that, 30 years later, La Fiesta de El Pueblo would grow to be the crowd-drawing downtown event that it is today.
Our event draws an average of 25,000 people from all over NC and other neighboring states. It is a beautiful thing to be able to come together in our state’s capital to celebrate our culture. For those who left their home countries in Latin America or those who grew up in the U.S. and want to connect with their roots, La Fiesta del Pueblo is a way to celebrate our pride, existence, and resiliency as Latines.
