Global Fiesta

Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017
10:30am – 4:00pm
FREE!

A fun-filled day packed with educational workshops, activities and performances geared towards both children and adults. ¡Globalquerque! is all about cross-cultural understanding, and the daytime, free Global Fiesta is a perfect way for festival goers to to contextualize many of the evening acts by getting a broader cultural overview.

Enjoy all the music, the art and the food! We look forward to hearing all about it when we see you at the Rio Grande Balloon Fiesta Arts & Crafts Show, October 6-8.
