Touchstone Theatre has canceled ¡Fiesta Latina! due to inclement weather.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Touchstone Theatre’s ¡Fiesta Latina! has been canceled because of the rain and cold temperatures.

  • Touchstone Theatre has canceled its annual Latino-themed block party
  • The event was scheduled to take place Saturday, April 29 at the theatre’s Barrio Stage

The Latino-themed outdoor block party was slated to take place from 6-9 p.m. Saturday, April, 29 at the theatre’s Barrio Stage.

‘Weather not on our side’

”Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side this weekend, and we have made the difficult decision to cancel Fiesta Latina today due to inclement weather, which promises to be cold and wet and not conducive for an outdoor event,” a spokesperson for the event wrote via email.

“This is always such a fun event and we’re disappointed to not be able to share it with the community.”

“This is always such a fun event and we’re disappointed to not be able to share it with the community.”

Fiesta Latina! is part of an initiative that began with the ensemble theatre’s Festival UnBound, a five-day local arts-infused community celebration in September.

Over the past few years, the event has been aimed at building a relationship with locals and organizations that make an impact on Bethlehem’s Latino population.

According to Weather.com, rainy conditions are expected to last until Sunday evening across the Lehigh Valley.
