ABOUT Fiestas Primavera
Benicia, California –Mark your calendars for March 28! It’s a day of embracing our differences and strengthening our community through voice and cultural celebration.
Fiestas Primavera will follow after the No Kings Protests in Benicia (9-10:30am) and Vallejo (10am-noon). Orchestrated by Mario Saucedo of the Solano Aids Coalition, Fiestas Primavera will bring this important day in our community home with an extravaganza of ceremony, speech, music, dance, crafts, food, and education. Fiestas Primavera will be held at City (Gazebo) Park from noon until 5pm. The festival is free, inclusive, and educational, and centers around the young people of our community.
Born out of the negative impacts of an unsafe and racially charged game the teens here used to play called “La Migra,” Fiestas Primavera has successfully replaced this unsanctioned, menacing, and eerily prescient event with a festival that promotes unity, acceptance, and collaboration. The festival particularly focuses on the contributions of the young people. There will be both student and professional art, music, dance, and speech featured at the event. The cultural performances are outstanding and engaging. In addition, there will be food from different cultures, activities for children, community information booths, and vendors selling arts and crafts from a variety of origins.
Now in its third year, Fiestas Primavera promises to raise your spirits with a vibrant celebration of the cultural contributions of all immigrants, particularly those from Mexico, Cuba, and Haiti.. It is a reminder that Benicia, like the rest of the country, is made up of a cultural blend of people, all of whom have greatly contributed to what we are today.
