50th Anniversary Fiesta Navideña Gala

Celebrating 50 Years of Tradition, Community & Student Success

Join the League of Mexican American Women for a milestone celebration as we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Fiesta Navideña, benefiting the Betty Rodriguez Scholarship Fund.

For five decades, Fiesta Navideña has brought our community together in the spirit of culture, generosity, and opportunity—raising nearly $700,000 to support scholarships for local students.

This special anniversary gala will honor the generations of members, volunteers, supporters, and community partners who have helped build this remarkable legacy, while looking ahead to the students and dreams we will continue to support.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available! Visit our Fiesta Navideña event page to learn more and become part of this historic celebration.

Ticket sales coming soon!
