C’Ville Sabroso Cultural Festival
When: Sept. 16, 2–9pm
Where: Washington Park, 1001 Preston Ave
As the region’s only Latin American music, dance, and culture festival, C’ville Sabroso has become a treasured regional celebration over its 11-year run; attendance should approach 5,000! It’s a safe space for our diverse Latin American community to showcase and share the rich cultures of their countries of origin and of Latin America generally.
Some highlights from this year’s event, organized by local immigrant services nonprofit Sin Barreras:
- Continuous music and dance on the main stage—including the festival’s first-ever band from South America.
- A new adult-only beer garden.
- A kid’s area with face painting, the JMRL bookmobile, and supplies for making traditional paper flowers and garlands.
- Cultural representation from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Uruguay.
- Food, food, food: twice as many vendors as last year!

Note: before coming out to Sabroso, consider taking in the much shorter Democracy & Constitution Days Celebration the same day (2:00-3:30pm) at the Free Speech Wall that the Cville Dems are cosponsoring.
