Hispanic Heritage Festival

This high-energy, family-friendly celebration honors the rich and diverse traditions of Hispanic communities from around the globe—and everyone is invited to join the fiesta.

The plaza will come alive with the sounds of salsa, merengue cumbia and more.  Tantalize your taste buds with delicious Latin cuisine, explore colorful arts & crafts, and keep the kids entertained with amusing activities all afternoon. It’s the perfect way to spend a balmy Sunday: full of heart, heritage and harmony.

Parking and admission are free. The event will be held rain or shine. Seating is informal; please bring blankets or folding chairs for seating. No coolers, please. To attend the festival, ride Metro-North’s Harlem Line to the Valhalla train station. Please be advised that the Bronx River Parkway will be closed for Bicycle Sundays between Scarsdale Road in Yonkers and the Westchester County Center in White Plains in July from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Kensico Dam Plaza can be accessed via Route 22, from the north or south.
