Fiesta Cultural celebrates Latino/a/x/e arts, cultures, and heritage throughout Lane County.

Through Fiesta Cultural, Lane Arts Council works with artists, arts and cultural organizations, and community partners to:

  • Produce Fiesta Cultural at the First Friday ArtWalk in downtown Eugene. This event is led by a committee of Latino/a/x/e artists and producers with administrative support from Lane Arts Council and City of Eugene Cultural Services.
  • Support Latino/a/x/e artists and cultural producers to create their own events and programs as Empresarios de Fiesta Cultural. These events are envisioned and led by Latino/a/x/e artists, with direct support from Lane Arts Council.
  • Amplify community-led and community-produced events through shared marketing and promotion that highlights Latino/a/x/e artists and celebrate Latino/a/x/e arts, cultures, and heritage. The Fiesta Cultural event calendar includes community events in Lane County happening September through December. Community events promoted through Fiesta Cultural are not produced by or affiliated with Lane Arts Council.
