Waukesha says ‘Arriba!’ Fiesta celebrates city’s growing Hispanic culture in Wisconsin

“The festival, which benefits La Casa de Esperanza, runs through Sunday and is in its 25th year.

“It started 25 years ago as a big block party in front of La Casa,” La Casa Development Director Shari Campbell said. “It was just a party, a chance to have fun and get the neighborhood together. And then it grew.”

Festival gates open at 4 p.m. followed by the opening ceremonies. The National Anthem will be performed and there will be a presentation of colors and a performance by Ballet Folklorico de los Hermanos Avila.”
