This family-friendly music festival is perfect for people of all ages. Food Trucks will be selling a wide variety of foods, including Mexican, ice cream, burgers, vegan and more. The festival will also feature a free arts and crafts area, piñata making, a Lotería (bingo) with prizes and a kid’s playground.

Councilmember Gilbert Cedillo said, “Music is a universal language that knows no bounds.  Music has the power to entertain, move and transform human beings and their lives. It is my distinct pleasure to provide my fellow Angelinos our FREE 6th Annual Latin Jazz & Music Festival for the enjoyment of families throughout the Southland.  All are welcome at this wonderful two-day fun-filled Festival.”

The Latin Jazz and Music Festival’s Artistic Director, José Rizo, and host of the radio program, “Jazz on the Latin Side” on KJAZZ 88.1 FM, said:  “We have a stellar line-up of talent for this year’s Festival, which will be hosted by Erik Chico Manqueros on Saturday, October 5th and hosted by Norka Regalado on Sunday, October 6th.  From Cold Duck, celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year, to La Santa Cecilia, Vilma Diaz y La Sonora Dinamita, Boogaloo Assassins, Francisco Torres Latin Jazz Ensemble, Andy Vargas & Souleros, and Selenamos, we have two full days of great entertainment which will get the crowds dancing.”
