The family-oriented Latin festival referred to as the “Latin Coachella,” celebrated the Hispanic culture on Oct. 24 and 25.

Universal Music Latin Entertainment, in partnership with Cárdenas Marketing Network, created the first Latin Festival in the United States. The event started at noon and closed by 10 pm. The event included an art exhibition, variety of food, attraction rides and performances from popular artists in the hispanic culture.

The art expo by Kathy Gallegos was presented by 22 Mundo Max and produced by Avenue 50 Studio and Curated. The art was mainly about the Latin culture and the struggles many Latinos face. An altar from El Dia De Los Muertos was showcased to remember artists such as Selena Quintanilla, Jenni Rivera and more. Apart from people getting their faces painted as skull candies, they were also able to watch artists as they painted on their canvases.

There were over 30 restaurant tastings available. Most restaurants served Latino cuisines such as burritos, tacos, churros and natural fruit flavored drinks.

There were a total of four stages with more than 50 artists performing different genres such as regional mexican, tropical, pop, urban and more. Enrique Iglesias, Juan Gabriel, Far East Movement and La Arrolladora Banda El Limon were a few of the artists that performed.

“There is a lot of great music today,” said Jorge Medina, lead singer of the Arrolladora Banda Limon.
