Tradition. Lakewood’s Pan Am Fiesta is the nation’s only community-wide celebration of Pan American culture.
The Fiesta is Lakewood’s longest-running community event, dating back to the mid-1940s. Learn about its history.
And it’s a great way for Lakewood residents to take part in one of the city’s traditions.
