This is an annual community event celebrating South Sound Latine culture.
Enjoy live performances of music and dance, visual arts, traditional latine food, and our mercadito with local vendors reflecting the diversity of latine communities. With five hours of free music, dance, art, crafts, food and hands on activities, Festival Herencia Latina welcomes community members of all ages to explore the rich tapestry of Latin American heritage that is reflected in the Latinx communities of our region!
A mercadito – or little market –will feature dozens of Latinx visual artists and vendors offering handmade jewelry, imported and local handcrafts, bilingual books, and small-batch creations. Additionally, various nonprofit and advocacy organizations serving the Latinx and broader communities will be on hand with information and resources.
Teaching artists from Latinx Unidos and Tacoma Arts Live will offer art and craft activities for children and people of all ages.
