Fiesta De Los ReyesFiesta de los Reyes is hands-down one of the liveliest events of Fiesta — and trust me, if you're looking for nonstop fun, this is the place to be!
It’s held at Market Square all Fiesta long and it’s basically a giant street party with live music from morning ‘til midnight, rows of food booths (hello turkey legs and tacos), cold drinks, and dancing in the streets. The vibes? Absolutely electric.
