Broadway Fiesta April 2026

Venturing to this year’s Broadway Fiesta, I was struck by the joyful spirit and pride—no protest, no fear, just celebration. As I walked, I came upon a small boxing ring with a banner announcing a wrestling match. It stirred a flood of memories.

As a child, I loved watching wrestling with my cousin and grandparents, a cup of Carnation chocolate chip ice cream in hand. It may have been choreographed, but to two eight-year-olds, it felt real. I can still hear “Whoa, Nellie!” when someone was thrown across the ring and recall ads for auto motor rebuilds.

Today it’s likely the same, but through older eyes it feels like a forgery Still, of all I saw that day, the wrestling stayed with me—and I hope it holds your attention too.
