About Us

The Fiesta Fairfax Foundation was founded to elevate and celebrate the richness of Latino culture within our local community. Located in the heart of the City of Fairfax, we seek to create spaces for cultural exchange, artistic expression, and mutual respect among residents and visitors of all backgrounds.

We are proud to partner with the City of Fairfax and local businesses to host Fiesta Fairfax in Old Town Square, an annual event that showcases the diverse beauty of Latino heritage through music, dance, food, and artisan crafts. Over the past two years, our event has become a beloved tradition in Old Town Square, drawing crowds from all walks of life. As we grow, we aim to expand our reach and bring more vendors, performers, and cultural ambassadors to the table, creating a truly dynamic celebration of Latino culture. In addition to our events, the Fiesta Fairfax Foundation is committed to supporting the Latino community beyond the festival. Our foundation strives to offer scholarships to Latino students pursuing higher education, as well as grants that fund programs and initiatives that serve the local Latino population. By investing in education and community services, we hope to create lasting change and empower future generations. At the Fiesta Fairfax Foundation, we believe that culture is a powerful tool for connection, and through our efforts, we aim to foster a more inclusive, vibrant, and engaged community.
