“Fiestas Patrias” translates to “Patriotic Holidays” or “National Celebrations.” Across Latin America—and here in Fresno—it refers to festivities honoring national independence and cultural pride.

Downtown Fresno’s Fiestas Patrias is a vibrant tribute to Latino heritage and freedom, brought to life through live performances, local vendors, and community gatherings. It’s a time when the Central Valley pulses with tradition, music, and unity. This celebration brings together the culture and spirit of our gente from across the region, honoring the rich history of Latino culture in Fresno and inviting everyone to join in a powerful expression of pride and remembrance.
