INDIANAPOLIS — La Plaza, the oldest and largest Latino nonprofit in Indiana recently announced reimagined plans for the 44th Annual FIESTA Indianapolis, Indiana’s premier Hispanic Heritage Month cultural celebration. Originally scheduled for Sept. 20, this year’s celebration will take a new form out of an abundance of caution and a deep commitment to the well-being for the community.
The decision was made after thoughtful consideration of several factors out of their control, and out of deep concern for the safety and well-being of the Hispanic community. While FIESTA has been a beloved tradition for more than four decades, bringing together thousands of people to celebrate Hispanic American culture, music, and community, circumstances this year have made it impossible to host the event as it did in the past.
La Plaza will partner with Univision during Hispanic Heritage Month to shine a spotlight on the people, places, and stories that make Central Indiana’s Latino community so rich and resilient. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from Sept. 15-Oct. 15.
