Cultura Fest 2025

We are back...and bigger than ever as we take it to the streets of Downtown South San Francisco for a FREE community event!

Join us for Cultura Fest 2025—a vibrant, one-of-a-kind celebration of Salvadoran and Latin American heritage, creativity, and community pride. This immersive festival brings tradition and modern expression together through powerful performances, delicious cuisine, art, and meaningful cultural connections.

From the rhythm of live music and comedy acts like Hoozay and Tony to the colorful Multicultural Parade and hands-on crafts in our family zone, Cultura Fest is bursting with energy and soul. Savor traditional and innovative Latin American dishes, explore an exhibit hall of bold, local art, and sip something refreshing in the beer garden. Shop a dynamic open-air market filled with handcrafted goods—from self-care items and vintage finds to crystals, candles, and one-of-a-kind artwork.

More than just a festival, Cultura Fest is a movement—celebrating identity, resilience, and the diverse voices that make our community shine. Check out the local businesses as they turn their storefronts into cultural showcases, adding to the immersive experience along Grand Avenue.
