A Grand Fiesta
6th Annual Fiesta Con Los Padres
On August 1st, Padres fans enjoyed a grand Fiesta at PETCO Park. The sixth annual Fiesta con los Padres, presented by Welk Resorts and brought to you by 99.7 La Invasora, was a night of music and fun for the entire family.
Before the game, as they entered with their free "Padres Beisbol" t-shirts, fans enjoyed the vibrant moves of Ballet Folkl�rico en Aztl�n on the Field Level Concourse. As they walked toward the Park at the Park, they could hear and smell the Fiesta Village - Latino music, Sonoran-style hot dogs and other foods, margaritas, and salsa dance lessons courtesy of Caf� Sevilla. A children's area featured a Bounce House, face-painter, and maraca-decorating table and all fans could get free autographs from duranguense group K-Paz de la Sierra, Padres broadcasters Juan Avila and Eduardo Ortega, and TV anchors from KGTV and Azteca America.
A special pre-game ceremony included a performance by youth dancers from Balboa Park's House of Puerto Rico and a tribute to the memory of Mr. Preston Gomez. Gomez's family was on hand to receive a framed photo of the 1969 Padres in honor of his becoming the first Padres manager and first Latin American-born manager in Major League Baseball history.
After a stirring 4-2 Padres victory extended the team's win streak to five games, fans packed the Park at the Park once again. After being introduced by Ortega and 99.7 La Invasora's Don Pepo, K-Paz de la Sierra entertained with a high-energy post-game concert. It was an evening of celebration and fun and if you missed it, we'll see you next year!
