About the Billings Mexican Fiesta
The Billings Mexican Fiesta was first celebrated in 1953 by the original Fiesta Council and has grown into the longest-running cultural event in Billings. Now in its 72nd year, the Fiesta continues to honor Mexican culture, family, and tradition while welcoming the entire community to celebrate together.
This five-hour community event brings more than 10,000+ visitors to South Park and is made possible by the dedication of countless volunteers and the Billings Hispanic Committee who generously donate their time, talent, and heart to keep this cherished tradition alive.
The Fiesta is proudly Sponsored by Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Parish.
Historic South Park
Dedicated in 1913, South Park is one of Billings’ oldest neighborhood parks and a historic 16-acre green space that has served South Side families for more than a century. With mature trees, open lawns, shaded picnic areas, and room to gather, South Park provides the perfect setting for the Billings Mexican Fiesta—connecting generations through shared celebration.
Families can also enjoy South Park’s free splash pad and playground, making the Fiesta a fun destination for all ages.
