LATINO EVENT - On Sunday, April 28th, the vibrant Broadway street in DTLA will burst to life with four blocks of non-stop entertainment and jubilation. This year, we've pulled out all the stops, adding exciting new activities to the lineup.

Los Angeles City Council member for District 14, Kevin de León, UNO Productions, and All Access Talent are working together to bring back Fiesta Broadway and make it bigger than ever!

Rock en Español legend Alex Lora from El TRI will lead the procession as the Grand Marshal 2024. This honor recognizes musicians who have made significant contributions to the Hispanic community in the United States, and Lora's impact is undeniable.

But the music doesn't stop there! The Original Mariachi Festival will showcase the talents of Mexican actor and singer Pablo Montero, along with Graciela Beltran, Leonardo Torres, and the Mariachi Juvenil Nuevo Grullense. Plus, catch performances by Juanito El Millonzuki, El Chaparro Chuacheneger, Karen Moon, Rocío “La Dama de la Cumbia”, Jessica Díaz, Gil Ortiz, Tach, and Pilo Tejeda y su Banda Blanca.

Kids will have their own designated area for fun and games, while Mexican wrestling enthusiasts can enjoy a full-day wrestling ring. And of course, indulge in the best Mexican, Central, and South American cuisine throughout the day.

Our generous sponsors, including McDonalds, US Bank, Toyota, Powerade, Honda Social, Pepsi, Remitly, Olé Mexican Foods, Verizon, Craft by Smoke and Fire, Bud Light, La Mega 96.3 FM, La Raza 97.9 FM, CityWatchLA, ABC7 Los Angeles, El Super Markets, Audacy, El Comal, and more, will be there to ensure an unforgettable experience. The Los Angeles Fire Department and LAPD will be on hand to maintain order and support local businesses and residents.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 28th, and join us for the ultimate Cinco de Mayo celebration!
