Save the date for the sixth annual ¡Latin Food Fest! Along with delicious food, an array of drinks, and great people, the event celebrates Latin culture during a particularly important period in history.

Held at Santa Monica Beach from March 23-24, the celebration not only showcases more than 50 chefs / restaurant owners / caterers, it also provides attendees with live cooking demos, tastings and even book signings.

The festival kicks off with “Mexico In 32 Flavors,” on March 23 and will hold the “Gran Tasting” the following day.

Make sure to show up with an appetite, as the “Gran Tasting” will feature 150 food, wine, spirits, and beer and beverage stations.

Additionally, there will be a Wine Workshop, Best of Fest Award, a VIP Tent and will also feature live music and live art.

More of a beer enthusiast? No problem. You’ll have Tona Cerveza from Nicaragua, Estrella Damm from Spain, and Estrella Cerveza from Mexico to choose from.
