Fiesta Edinburg arrived at the Bert Ogden Arena late last month with hundreds of people gathered to experience the festivities, rides, food and live entertainment.
Attendees were able to enjoy a wide variety of activities, making it a fun-filled event for the whole family. The carnival also featured games and contests.
As attendees walked from the ticket box to the left region of the carnival, vendors filled the carnival with a variety of meals, including fried foods, cotton candy and barbecue.
Live entertainment of tejano music and current hits serenaded in the lounging area in the middle of the carnival.
To the right of the entrance, attendees were able to enjoy carnival rides such as the Ring of Fire, which flipped attendees upside down as they went in a circle.
The Magic Maze allowed people to go through optical illusions, obstacles and finish off with a slide down the attraction.
The Ferris wheel was at the center of the carnival and allowed attendees to oversee the entire event up in the sky.
Math junior Melissa expressed her feelings for events such as Fiesta Edinburg.
“Today was the last day, I really love carnivals,” Melissa said.
Integrated health science freshman Sal described her experience at the event.
“It has been a roller coaster,” Sal said.
Both attendees said they had a great time trying out different rides and would love to repeat it next year.
Vaquero Radio tried to contact carnival coordinators but they declined an interview.
