Fiesta is the Texas Exes Hispanic Alumni Network's annual signature fundraiser. Proceeds benefit endowed scholarships and HAN activities.
We invite you to join us for a special evening dedicated to empowering the next generation of Hispanic University of Texas students.
This year, Fiesta is being held at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center on October 16, 2026, the evening before UT's home football game against the Florida Gators. Your attendance and generous support will help fund scholarships for deserving students.
The evening will feature an inspiring program with special keynote and student speakers, alongside a silent auction, raffle, dinner, loteria, and live pre-dinner performances from the Longhorn Band and others.
Bring your friends, family, and all supporters of UT! You do not need to be a UT alum to attend.
