Mexican Fiesta is considered the largest Mexican music and a family cultural tradition venue event in the Midwest.
The Summerfest grounds operated by Milwaukee World Festival Inc. is considered a public forum where free speech and freedom of expression is still prevelent.
Case precedent, Satélite v. Mexican Fiesta (WHSF), in June 1992, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge William D. Gardner ruled that the Summerfest grounds are a "public forum" where there is a First Amendment right to freedom of expression, even when the grounds are occupied by an ethnic festival.
Gardner said, "City government created the grounds to be a place where the public could gather and experience the ethnic and cultural diversity of the community."
Also under Cohen v. California (1971), the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a conviction of a man wearing a jacket saying "Fuck the Draft", which he was cited for disturbing the peace and the four letter word was considered free speech.
The First Amendment, as applied through the Fourteenth, prohibits states from making the public display of a single four-letter expletive a criminal offense, without a more specific and compelling reason than a general tendency to disturb the peace. Court of Appeal of California reversed.
