Viva La Fiesta - 2023 - James Weldon Johnson Park

Written By Toni Smailagic

‘Viva La Fiesta’ came back for it’s 5th year, and was the perfect way of wrapping up Hispanic Heritage Month! This year they returned to James Weldon Johnson Park on Saturday (Oct 14,2023) from 4-10pm. The festival ALWAYS draws in a massive crowd, especially with the growing Hispanic population & this being the only Hispanic festival in the city, so it was no surprise that every corner of the park was filled up.

* This year’s headliner was the legendary CHARLIE APONTE of El Gran Combo, with entertainment throughout the entire evening ranging from CaribeGroove - Venezuela Marka - La Legítima - Traditional Panama Dances - and of course, Dj Little Yankee .
