EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – El Centro is getting ready to celebrate community, food, and culture with the return of Fiesta del Valle Flavor Friday.
The free event runs from 4 to 10 p.m. this Friday, April 11, at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sports Pavilion parking lot.
It will feature local food vendors, live entertainment, and a beer garden — all aimed at supporting small businesses while giving the community a fun night out.
Organizers say the festival is timed perfectly with the weather.
“I wanna be able to create a Friday event during the good weather here in the valley,” said Geraldo Antonio, event organizer and owner of Antonio’s Baja Catch 22. “It gets hot — we want to do stuff, and we love to eat and we love to drink.”
City officials say events like this are part of an ongoing effort to boost local business and build community pride in El Centro.
