Festival Information

The Battle of Flowers Band Festival is one of the most popular family events of Fiesta week! It gathers local and area high school bands for a spectacular, musical evening. Precision marching, festive and patriotic music, along with twirlers and flag performers are some of the thrilling attractions offered. The grand finale showcases all of the bands performing together as fireworks burst overhead.

Band Festival Buttons/Patches

A new patch is designed each year!
The patch reflects the year's theme as shown in the 2008 design to the left. They are sold at both the Band Festival Rehearsal and the Band Festival for $3 each. Patches from past years are also available in limited quantities. They sell for $1.00 each.
