As a result of the safety concerns concerning Covid-19, the 10th annual
Vamos a Tucson Mexican Baseball Fiesta has been canceled for 2020. This announcement also includes all games in Mesa (Phoenix), Las Vegas and Douglas.
The “Fiesta” is the largest Hispanic sporting event in Tucson every year. In 2019, the Tucson Mexican Baseball Fiesta games, featuring teams from the Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (Mexican Winter League), attracted 16,012 fans in four dates for an average of 4,003 per day. Visiting teams and fans used over 2,000 room nights creating an economic impact in excess of $1 Million Dollars.
Mike Feder, President of the Mexican Baseball Fiesta, said “We have been holding out hope that we can do the Fiesta but it just won’t work out. The state’s restrictions on venue attendance made it impossible this year. Our number one priority is the health of our players, fans, sponsors, and staff.
