Fiestaval: A Taste of Latin America will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5 at Miller Park starting at 11 a.m. This is a free and family-friendly event and everyone is welcome.

"Fiestaval celebrates Latin American culture by bringing together a vibrant and diverse community. It’s an opportunity to promote cultural diversity, gain visibility and engage with the community," organizers said.

Produced by Pedro Abriles, a participant in the Emerging Producers Program by River City Company, Fiestaval is made possible through the support of River City Company, the Lyndhurst Foundation, Tennessee Arts Commission, Canta and Hispanic Arts & Education.

The day will be filled with fun activities, including a Kids' Area, Beer Garden, live music, DJs, Latin food trucks, authentic vendors, dancers and the grand finale of Canta: Festival de la Canción en Español.
The event will conclude with a screening of the locally-made short film, Journey with Giovanny.

From 11 a.m., attendees can enjoy an inflatable soccer field provided by Chattanooga Football Club, performances by La Rumba Latin band, dance presentations by Ensamble de México, a live performance by Latin urban artist Willy Obell and DJ sets by DJ More.

At 5 p.m., the highly anticipated Gran Finale of Canta, an annual Spanish singing competition, will take place.

Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for the movie screening, which will start as soon as the sun sets.
