Hello From Montevideo Fiesta,

​

We are already working on the 80th Fiesta Days for June 2026.  We want to update you on the week long celebration.

​

The days of having 40+ people on a volunteer board are no longer.  People are busy and commitments are many.  Yet we all agree it is important to have a proud and fun hometown celebration.  This year we will be leveraging the many groups within our community.  We have already reached out to several, and we are being well received.

​

Along with teaming up with community groups, we are also bringing in charities to our many events.  As an example, our Legion Riders will be supporting a Veterans Suicide Prevention fund for our motorcycle rally on Saturday June 13th.  A motorcycle ride for Fiesta probably only gets 30 bikes, while a good charity for Veterans will bring out several hundred riders from up to 100 miles away.

​

As it is a new day we will be adding some exciting new events.  As well as dropping or adjusting some prior events.  These discussions are underway and we hope to publish our week's long schedule in early January 2026.  We can announce a coaster car soap-box derby down 2nd street hill is looking very positive.  We have a group of coaches and their teams looking to help with a Wednesday sports night of volleyball, basketball, tennis, pickle ball, underwater swim, belly flopping, and soft ball home run derby at the outdoor swimming area.  Heritage Hill is teaming with Fiesta, the fly-in is expanding, and we hope to have a fitness & health night and a pistol & trap shoot night.

​

The Thursday community picnic will have little kid carnival activities (ring toss, face paint, fish booth, cake walk, etc.), kiddie parade, and will be the kickoff of an ALL CLASS REUNION.  The Friday night block party is looking to expand and host our Alumni for a rocking street dance with fireworks.

​

If you are a Mohawk or Thunderhawk Alum, please reach out to us, to help get the word out to fellow classmates.  We want 500 Alum.

​

More to come in January.
