All about Fiesta
Fiesta BHAM is nonprofit organization and annual festival in Birmingham that seeks to educate the public about the many different Hispanic countries and cultures represented in Alabama through art, music, dance and food.
Part of Fiesta BHAM’s goal is to also provide Hispanic students in Alabama with scholarships to help them further their education.
In light of COVID-19, Fiesta BHAM donned their creative sombreros and came up with an all-new way to enjoy this year’s event. Instead of the usual one-day event, you can take part in the festivities virtually for an entire month during 30 Days of Fiesta.
“Although a live gathering is not possible, this does not mean we have to stop being human, or Latin. In fact, in these difficult times, we have to be more united than ever. We have to celebrate, because it is something that unites us as a community.”
Zuniga-Odom, President, Fiesta BHAM Teresa Zuniga-Odom said.
