Our Fiesta History
As a community tradition for over 50 years, the Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana started in 1964 and was once known as "Fiesta Time". The celebration was marked at the end of the harvest and expressed our community's gratitude to its farmers and workers. The Fiesta Mexicana has become one of the most important cultural events in the region. Read more about its rich history here.
