Getting Around

All of the activities taking place at La Fiesta del Pueblo are on the street level with the roads closed off to motor vehicles all day on Sunday.

Do note that some streets have a slight uphill pitch to them, especially the side streets: Martin, Davie and Hargett.

The Moore Square Bus Station is located at 214 S. Blount Street, 1.5 blocks from the heart of La Fiesta del Pueblo.
