¡Fiesta Mexicana! features this year’s premiere culinary Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month event with a celebration of Mexican American heritage. Open to all the URI community, this year’s event highlights three iconic Mexican American cultural traditions: Mariachi music, with Fiesta del Norte; the authentic flavors of Mexico [Tacos La Rosa will park its taco truck in front of MSSC], and a piñata, which although often used today to celebrate birthdays and other festive occasions, once held deeply religious symbolic value in Aztec and Mayan cultures.
