Española Fiestas...where cultures unite

Timeless Traditions


In July the City commemorates the Valley’s founding in 1598 with the Fiesta del Valle de Española. This is a tradition that dates back to at least 1934.

History unfolds under a sun-filled blue sky. Family, friends and neighbors gather while remembering the past and embracing the present. The rhythm of the music move people to dance and the shadows seem to reflect the spirit of our old ones dancing beside us.
