The Fiesta Del Rio, which was supposed to be held Sept. 20, was cancelled due to “recent ICE raids” surrounding Everett.
City officials in Everett announced the cancellation of Fiesta Del Rio, an upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month event, due to a recent crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the area.
“We know how much this event means to our city. It’s a celebration of culture, music, food and togetherness,” Mayor Carlo DeMaria wrote Thursday on Facebook. “But with the recent ICE raids in our region, many of our friends and neighbors are feeling fear and uncertainty.”
The fourth annual Fiesta Del Rio was originally scheduled for Sept. 20 in Rivergreen Park, according to the city. The event celebrates local Hispanic-owned businesses, organizations, and cultural programs.
DeMaria said that it “would not be right” to hold the festival at a time when members of the community might feel unsafe attending. The free event was supposed to feature live music, art, and food from local vendors.
“We remain committed to celebrating our city’s diversity in the future, and we will look for other ways to come together as one community,” officials said.
The city did not provide further details about what alternative events would be planned, but said that they stand with the community.

Shouldn’t they go home to celebrate their Hispanic Heritage? They sure as hell didn’t sneak into America seeking to get on the freeway to Hispanic citizenship.
Fiesta Del Rio… translates to river party.
I’m all-in. Let’s celebrate illegal aliens going back across the border. Here’s a bottle of tequila and a boot in the ass. Adios amigo!
Oh, gee, what a shame. Go celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in the country you legally belong to.
Get out of my country!
Winning...
Why would ‘the community’ feel unsafe? We all celebrate hispanic culture, we all love hispanic food. They are surrounded by love and affection.
The officials are confused, they must be talking about the ‘criminal community’, and it is right for criminals to feel unsafe, they should self deport immediately.
