The annual citywide celebration typically takes place every April but due to the pandemic, the news dates will be from June 17 to 27, 2021.
Last year, Fiesta was first postponed to November but ultimately ended up being canceled due to the rise in COVID-19 cases in the city.

The event had only been canceled one other time during World War 2.
