View research from 2010’s La Feria: Es El Momento.
La Feria Es El Momento is the Los Angeles expansion of Feria Para Aprender. In 2009, the first event (themed Deja Huella) brought more than 20,000 Spanish-speaking parents and students to CSU Dominguez Hills. Last October, over 27,000 were in attendance at the second annual event.
At each Feria, parents learn how to navigate their children successfully through the U.S. education system. More than 100 exhibits are offered by educational non-profits, colleges, universities, and scholarship groups. Spanish-language academic experts and volunteers are on-hand to inform and guide parents. Hundreds of Feria participants receive training ahead of the event on how to better engage Spanish-language dominant families around education, college attainment, and careers.
The co-producers of the 2011 La Feria Es El Momento are Feria Founder CommuniCard, LLC, Advancing America Foundation, and Univision Communications. Other major partners include Cal State University and Greater Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
