For a 4th year, Fiesta Youth and the National AIDS Memorial are partnering together to bring 7 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt (55 quilts) to San Antonio as part of World AIDS Day observances on December 1, 2023.

“We are honored to work together with the National AIDS Memorial to bring the Quilt to our community this World AIDS Day and share its stories of hope, activism, healing and remembrance,” said David Laidacker-Luna, Event Director, Fiesta Youth. “The Quilt sections on display connect the story of AIDS directly to the work we do to provide services, educate, and raise greater awareness about HIV today. The Quilt offers important reflection about the tremendous loss of life, allowing us to remember those we’ve lost, ensure their lives are never forgotten, and provide hope for the future. The weekend long of events are created to create awareness, educate, and hope for the future. A time to bring the community together and learn.”
