The Original. The Elevated.

New York Eats
Latin

Sept 12–13, 2026 · Uptown, NYC

The country's first Latin food and culture festival comes home Uptown for its 4th year, opening Hispanic Heritage Month. Two days of sabor, música, and comunidad. Rain or shine — we don't cancel flavor.

What this is

Not a food fest. A love letter to Latinidad.

A food-first festival powered by real culture. The full Latin diaspora, one weekend, built around the flavors, stories, and rhythms that define our communities. No filters. No watered-down versions. The real thing.

Frequently asked

Good questions.

How much is entry?

Early Bird until Aug 15: $15 one day, $25 both days. From Aug 16 it is $20 and $35. At the gate it is $25 a day, if there is anything left. Kids 12 and under always enter free with a paying adult. The price only ever goes up.

Does my ticket include food or drinks?

Your ticket covers entry only — food and drink are sold by the vendors inside.

Can I buy tickets at the door?

Only if we're not sold out. Buy in advance — prices step up as we get closer and space is limited.

What happens if it rains?

Rain or shine, we party. Bring a jacket. No refunds.

Where is the festival?

Uptown, NYC. Five zones: La Calle, The Music Hall, The Gallery, The Dining Hall, and El Patio.

Can I leave and come back?

One scan is one entry. If you need to step out and come back, talk to the gate team before you exit.
