The essentials for planning your Fiesta weekend.
Yes — general admission to Fiesta in America at American Dream is free and open to the public. Select experiences, such as ticketed concerts and the People's Ball, are priced separately and announced on our Events page.
American Dream offers on-site garage parking in East Rutherford, NJ, with clearly marked entrances off Route 120. Coming from New York City? NJ Transit bus 355 runs directly from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to American Dream. We recommend arriving before 11 AM on Saturday for the easiest parking.
Fiesta Week 2026 runs August 15–16, following American Dream's operating hours. Marketplace booths, cultural showcases and stage performances run throughout each day — the full schedule is posted on our Events page about two weeks before opening day.
Absolutely. Fiesta in America is built for families — expect kid-friendly performances, food for every age and full stroller and wheelchair accessibility throughout American Dream, including elevators, family restrooms and nursing spaces.
Most vendors accept both cash and cards, and many take mobile payments. We suggest carrying some cash for smaller merchandise vendors — and ATMs are available throughout American Dream if you run short.
