Santa Ana Fiestas Patrias 2026: See photos of the festival and parade, watch the parade video
Santa Ana Fiestas Patrias 2026, held on September 12 and 13 in Downtown Santa Ana, welcomed over 80,000 festival attendees and was a beautiful reminder of the strength, color, and heart that define our Mexican and Latino communities. From traditional dances and mariachi to delicious food and heartfelt moments - every part of the event was filled with pride and joy.
On Saturday, the Consul of Mexico in Santa Ana Maxaira Baltazar joined the Santa Ana City Council to celebrate the traditional Mexican Independence Day ceremony, "El Grito de Independencia," or Shout of Independence. On Sunday, over 50 community groups and other participants marched in the parade, and over 4,000 people lined Main Street to watch.
A very special thank you to our title level partners Telemundo 52 and Tuscany Espresso, and our foundation level partners Raising Canes and Republic Services.
