So far, the three-day Mexican Fiesta 2021 organizers and its sponsor, the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation haven't announced a COVID-19 protocol during their event in late August, nor have they adopted a similar COVID-19 protocol that Summerfest 2021 has announced to enter the 11-day music event in September.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The three-day Mexican Fiesta 2021 will take place from August 27-29, 2021 at the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee. So far, Mexican Fiesta organizers haven't released any COVID-19 protocol to keep the majority of Latino festivalgoers from spreading the COVID-19 variants at the event including the Delta variant, which is the predominantly strain in Wisconsin, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Will Mexican Fiesta adopt a COVID-19 protocol or will it follow Summerfest 2021 newly adopted protocol that was announced on Tuesday, August 10, 2021, that full COVID-19 vaccination or negative COVID-19 test results within 72 hours of attending the music fest will be required to enter the music gig.
The Wisconsin State Fair 2021 began on August 5, 2021 for an 11-day run in West Allis, Wisconsin, which draws thousands of fairgoers and it didn't have any COVID-19 protocol including no capacity limits, proof of being fully vaccinated and etc.
Last Thursday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (WIDHS) reported 1,573 new cases, which brought the 7-day average up to exactly 1,000 new cases per day during the WI State Fair opening in West Allis, which is the highest virus spread jump since, the beginning of 2021 and 388 people have been hospitalized.
Health officials are warning unvaccinated persons that the fair is an unsafe environment for them to attend this year. This warning would definitely include any other large outdoor venue that attracts crowds.
The WIDHS recently reported that it has traced more than 500 COVID-19 new cases to the NFL Bucks Championship 2021 celebration at the Deer District in Milwaukee.
The Puerto Rican Family Festival 2021 on August 1, at the Milwaukee County Wilson Park attracted thousands of PRFestgoers and had no COVID-19 protocol in place or required the use of facemasks, which left the option open and welcomed those wanting to wear one as well.
