Get ready to embrace the legacy of the beloved Tex-Mex idol this weekend, as Milwaukee's Fiesta Selena MKE is slated to bring a slice of cultural vibrancy to the city. Scheduled for this Saturday, September 6th, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., the event is hosted at the Farmhouse Paint & Sip located at 4511 S. 6th Street. The festival, which bursts with the thrum of live music and a splash of educational and interactive art exhibits, is a celebration of singer, fashion designer, and icon Selena Quintanilla, according to the City of Milwaukee.
Local vendors, food trucks, and a range of artists from Southeastern Wisconsin will be at the heart of Fiesta Selena, a festival that has been touted as the Midwest's largest Selena-related gathering according to Alderman Scott Spiker, and, to paraphrase Spiker's enthusiasm obtained by the City of Milwaukee's website, there's something in store for every art and music enthusiast, not omitting the die-hard fans of Selena Quintanilla herself.
The cultural fabric weaves its narrative this autumn, inviting residents and visitors alike to engage in a day of entertainment and remembrance, so says Alderman Scott Spiker, "“Fiesta Selena is the Midwest’s largest Selena-related gathering. So whether you’re a fan of Selena, or just a lover of art and music, this event promises to deliver family-friendly fun for everyone, and I’m delighted to help welcome the event back this year," he heralded the occasion while accentuating the significance it holds in the community's calendar, as stated by the City of Milwaukee.
