The Unity Project to host 8th Annual Fort Atkinson Fall Fiesta (Fiesta De Otoño)

The Unity Project of Fort Atkinson will be hosting the eighth annual Fort Fall Fiesta on Saturday, September 13th 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 churro cheesecake, chocoflan and street corn from La Chucheria and sweet treats from Lulu’s Cravings. A local DJ will play a mix of music that will have you dancing and learning bachata and salsa. The Cub Scouts, Jefferson County Humane Society, Fort Healthcare and BASE will have fun activities for the whole family. There’ll be free face painting, balloon animals and giveaways. Also returning this year is the 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 event will also feature over twenty exhibitors who offer products, services, or opportunities to attendees.

This year’s event sponsors include Fort Community Credit Union, Fort HealthCare, Madison College and Molina HealthCare. Concessions are sponsored by Kwik Trip, Terra Staffing and 201 Waterfront Dental.

Special thanks go out to Mandy Bastien 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.
