The Original. The Elevated.
The original Latin food and culture festival returns for its 4th year. Two days of sabor, música, and comunidad, and this year the gate comes down. Free to attend. You just need a free pass, because the footprint has a limit. Rain or shine, we don't cancel flavor.
Free · One pass per person per day · 15,000 a day

What this is
Not a food fest. A love letter to Latinidad.
A food-first festival powered by real culture. The full Latin diaspora, one weekend, built around the flavors, stories, and rhythms that define our communities. No filters. No watered-down versions. The real thing.
Latin Food Fest used to be a paid ticket. Not any more. No door price, no tiers, nothing behind a wall.
Every ticket bought is being refunded in full, back to the card you used. Nothing to ask for. Your spot is still yours.
Free does not mean walk up. One pass per day, 15,000 a day, and each day closes on its own. Saturday goes first.
Saturday October 3 and Sunday October 4, 2026. Uptown, New York City. The exact address goes to passholders first.

Frequently asked
Nothing. Latin Food Fest is free this year. You still need a free pass, because the footprint has a hard limit and we cap each day at 15,000.
Yes. One pass covers one day. Taking both days gives you two passes with two different codes. Saturday and Sunday are capped separately.
Uptown, New York City. The exact address goes to passholders before it goes public. That is the whole point of taking one early.
That day closes and only that day. Saturday filling does not close Sunday. There is no waitlist and no door line for a closed day.
Entry only. Food and drink are sold by the vendors inside. Bring a card and some cash.
Kids 12 and under do not. Walk in with them.
Take the same day again with the same email. You get the same code back, not a new one, and the email is sent again.
Rain or shine, we party. Bring a jacket.
