Attendees can expect live music from traditional mariachis to Latin pop rock, as well as art installations, interactive Latin dance performances and a beer garden, according to the festival’s website.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit local organizations, such as Frida Kahlo Community Group and Opportunities for All, according to the festival’s website.
