HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 4th Annual Southwest Bricktown Fiesta, presented by Midwest Superstore and IdeaTek is Saturday in Hutchinson.
"The event will start at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday at Southwest Bricktown Park on West First Avenue," said Adam Stewart with Hutch Rec. "It will start off with some DJ music from 620 In The Mix, and then we get something that we've been trying to do for the fiesta for a couple of years now, we're bringing in a troupe of folk dancers from Wichita around 5:30. After that, a little bit more from 620 In The Mix, and then we get to our two big live bands for the night before finishing up at 11:00 p.m.
Those live bands are well known in the area.
"The opening band will be the Josue Estrada Band out of Wichita, Kansas," said Adam Pina with the festival. "Phenomenal group, They're coming off a huge, huge summer. Actually, during the month of May, they were touring all across the US. They just recently played Elsewhere Festival in Wichita, which was a huge event as well. Then we're going to be closing the night off with a more traditional band with Grupo Deferencia out of Great Bend."
There will also be great food available.
"One of the big things that has been a part of it from the very first year of the Fiesta was the importance of bringing out food trucks and food stands," Stewart said. "Cindy Flores, one of the neighborhood residents, has always done a great job with lining those up for us."
