On September 13\u201314, Latin Food Fest NYC takes over Industry City with a cultural earthquake, featuring five immersive zones of food, music, art, and community that represent the beating heart of Hispanic Heritage Month. More than 10,000 attendees will experience a festival that is both a celebration and a statement: Latin culture doesn\u2019t fade, it multiplies.<\/div>\n

NEW YORK, NY – August 26, 2025 – <\/strong>Forced out of its original home, many counted it out. But the original Latin Food & Culture Fest <\/strong>has roared back — bigger, louder, and stronger than ever<\/strong> — reclaiming its place as the epicenter of Latin food, music, and culture in New York City.<\/p>\n

On September 13–14, Latin Food Fest<\/strong> NYC<\/strong> takes over Industry City <\/strong>with a cultural earthquake, featuring five immersive zones of food, music, art, and community<\/strong> that represent the beating heart of Hispanic Heritage Month. More than 20,000 attendees will experience a festival that is both a celebration and a statement<\/strong>: Latin culture doesn’t fade, it multiplies.<\/p>\n

At the center of the festival’s mission is We Feed America<\/strong>, a bold campaign launched in partnership with the Street Eats Foundation<\/strong> to honor the immigrant small business owners who power America’s kitchens and communities. Exclusive “We Feed America” t-shirts<\/strong> drop August 28, with 100% of proceeds fueling grants and incubator programs for micro-businesses in hospitality.<\/p>\n

This year’s highlights include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The Market: <\/strong>70+ Latin food vendors curated into NYC’s most dynamic street food experience.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    The Stages:<\/strong> A stacked lineup including Bataya performances via Red Bull, live bands, DJs, and a Bad Bunny look-alike showdown<\/strong> that will stop traffic.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    The Zones:<\/strong> Verizon’s soccer kicks lounge, Jack Daniels’ Blackberry VIP room, interactive cultural activations, games, art installations, and community spaces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    The Power:<\/strong> Leaders, artists, chefs, and sponsors uniting under one flag to create something bigger than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “This isn’t a comeback. This is a victory lap for our community<\/strong>,” said Marco Shalma<\/strong>, founder of MASC Hospitality Group. “Latin Food Fest is proof of what happens when immigrant hands, cultural pride, and community power come together. We don’t fold. We build.”<\/p>\n

    And this is only the beginning. With New York as its anchor, Latin Food Fest will launch in five additional cities in 2026<\/strong> — taking its mix of food, music, and cultural firepower to Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta.<\/p>\n

    Latin Food Fest NYC is more than a festival. It’s a declaration. It’s a triumph. It’s the future.<\/em><\/p>\n
