In 2025, we proudly celebrate the richness of our roots and the diversity of our people. Over 14,000 attendees joined us last year, and thanks to their enthusiasm and the overwhelmingly positive response to our new location, we’re returning to Ballantyne’s Backyard for another unforgettable edition!
Join us at La Plaza Latinoamericana, a vibrant cultural space created in collaboration with community leaders showcasing the best of their countries—traditional outfits, crafts, music, dance, and more.
Families can also enjoy a dedicated children’s area filled with fun and engaging activities, thanks to the support of organizations that believe in the joy and power of our community.
And of course, the heart of every great celebration—the food! You’ll find traditional favorites from Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, and many other countries that have long been part of our festival.
This year, we’ll surprise you with an even broader culinary selection, featuring authentic flavors from countries never before represented at the festival, including Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and more—ready to delight your palate with something truly special.
Come celebrate culture, unity, and the joy that defines the Latino community!
