"We are all seeing the effects of a virus so dangerous and contagious to our communities that a Fiesta like years past is simply not possible," organizers announced in an email.
ABC11 Together is a sponsor of the annual event on Fayetteville St. that brings together 20,000 people to enjoy food, music, dancing, art and culture.
The event is organized by El Pueblo, a non-profit organization based in Raleigh, that is focused on leadership development for youth and adults in Wake County.

The events include two Facebook Live events on Sept. 20 and Oct. 4 and two drive-through events on Sept. 27 and Oct. 11.
