The Fiesta Street Festival Block Party represents a variety of activities that attract numerous families and visitors to the Southern California Coast year after year, approximately 25,000 people will attend this party.

Sponsoring the Fiesta is a tremendous opportunity to develop public awareness of your business and/or service. It also sends a message of your willingness to extend goodwill toward your community. This year’s event is a highly visible advertising tool in local and regional markets. The Fiesta Street Festival includes a variety of family activities.

The Fiesta’s attendance has grown annually with participants and spectators converging on San Clemente for this summer celebration. The uniqueness of San Clemente, the “Spanish Village by the Sea,” is resourcefully showcased during the August event. Sponsorship of the summer Fiesta is designed to provide positive revenue and exposure to businesses and local nonprofit organizations. All the food and game booths for this event are run by the local nonprofit organizations, as a way of helping them raise much-needed funds. Those funds are then distributed throughout the community for very worthwhile causes.    

The San Clemente Street Festival is held on picturesque Ave. Del Mar, where the two main blocks of downtown San Clemente are dedicated to an entire day of FUN. 

The San Clemente Fiesta Street Festival - This event features activities for the whole family, including: Food and game booths sponsored by local nonprofit organizations, three stages with continuous live music throughout the day, contests for all ages, a Salsa Challenge, arts & crafts show, kiddie rides, a classic car & motorcycle show, exhibits, clowns, jugglers, face painters and much more.

Non-Profit Food & Games Booths

There are forty-five local, nonprofit service organizations, which utilize the Fiesta as their yearly fund-raiser. The local groups provide an array of international food, refreshments and games for all ages. This opportunity for our local service organizations has been a means for local business people and citizens, through the Chamber of Commerce, to work as a unit for the betterment of our community.

Salsa Challenge

The “Salsa Challenge” is back and hotter than ever! Lured by the aroma of chili peppers and the beat of Mariachi music, Southern Californians enjoy this flavored-filled contest. Individual and restaurant chefs create recipes, which are then judged. This contest continues to expand in popularity.

Teams are encouraged to decorate their areas by wearing sombreros, ponchos and huaraches. They are then awarded prizes and the opportunity to vie for the best salsa North of the border. The public relishes the idea of sampling several varieties of “California Hot Sauces” and quenches their palates with cool refreshments.
