On Sunday, June 7, 2026, LatinaFest, the largest outdoor festival celebrating Latinas in the U.S., is back for its ninth annual event at Jesse Brewer Park in Exposition Park.
The festival is known for bringing together the most powerful and influential Latinas in the community and showcasing the Latina entrepreneurship spirit with over 100 exhibitors, an all-day event of panels, food and much more.
This year’s festival theme, “UNSTOPPABLE,” reflects the undeniable growth, influence and economic power of Latinas across the U.S. According to the PEW Center, at 22.2 million, U.S. Latinas account for 17% of all adult women in the U.S. today, the fastest-growing major female ethnic group in the country.
“Latinas are not a trend—we are the future of growth,” said LatinaFest co-founder Bel Hernandez Castillo. “I have seen the growth from our inception in 2018. Marketing to Latinas should not be considered a DEI initiative by corporations, it is a strategy that is good for business”.
The outdoor festival is a celebration of Latina unity, welcoming women who are bilingual, bicultural and multi-generational. It also aims to create an inclusive space for Latinas of all ages and backgrounds, whether single, married or anywhere along life’s journey.

LatinaFest programming will also feature yoga sessions, salsa dance lessons, cultural experiences for the entire family, a VIP lounge experience, live performances, tequila and mezcal tastings. along with other fun activities.
“LATINAFest is more than a festival, it’s a movement,” said co-founder Naibe Reynoso. “We are creating a space where culture, commerce and community come together to celebrate the power and impact of Latinas.”
