RiverEdge Park, in partnership with the City of Aurora’s Hispanic Heritage Advisory Board and the City of Aurora, has announced the 13th annual Fiestas Patrias Festival, Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13 at the newly expanded RiverEdge Park, 360 N. Broadway, in downtown Aurora.
Bring your friends, blankets, bag chairs, and dancing boots, and get ready for two exciting nights at the park in celebration of Mexican Independence Day. Not only does Fiestas Patrias bring live music, mariachi, local food vendors, and internationally acclaimed bands like Banda Carnaval and La Maquinaria Norteña, the two-day event raises thousands of dollars in scholarship funds annually for Hispanic, college-bound Aurora residents.

Gates open at 3 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. The festival kicks off with Los Aces Del Norte at 3:30 p.m., Parade of Nations at 4:30 p.m., Grupo Mandingo at 5:15 p.m., La Fiera de Ojinaga at 6:45 p.m., El Grito at 8 p.m. and La Maquinaria Norteña at 8:45 p.m.
