The Unity Project of Fort Atkinson will be hosting the seventh annual Fort Fall Fiesta on Saturday, September 14th from 12-4 pm at Jones Park in Fort Atkinson. The event is free, and everyone is welcome.

The fiesta brings together English and Spanish speakers within our community for an afternoon of food, music, dancing, games and children’s activities. Authentic food will be available from La Morenita taco truck and the Hispanic congregation of First United Methodist Church. Delicious ice cream treats will be served by Frostie Freeze and Beauty and the Bean will serve coffee drinks. A local DJ will take requests for a mix of Hispanic and local favorites. The Cub Scouts, Jefferson County Humane Society, Fort Healthcare and BASE will have fun activities for the whole family. Free face painting, balloon animals and giveaways. New this year will be a quinceañera fashion show co-hosted by the Fort Atkinson Club at 1:00 pm. Community members are invited to enter the domino tournament for a chance to win tickets to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Fort Atkinson Chamber will announce the winner of Lemonade Day at 2:00 pm. The event will also feature over thirty exhibitors who offer products, services, or opportunities to the Hispanic community.

This year’s event sponsors include Fort Community Credit Union, Fort HealthCare, Jones Dairy Farm and Molina HealthCare. Concessions are sponsored by Kwik Trip and BKS Dental.

Special thanks go out to Sam Hartwick and the Fort Atkinson Generals, Fort Atkinson Parks & Recreation Department and City of Fort Atkinson for their support.

“The Unity Project’s mission is to promote a sense of acceptance and belonging among all members of the community. The Fiesta is an opportunity to bring people together, celebrate, and create bonds that strengthen our community,” said Whitney Townsend,
event organizer.
