Special Event: Festival Cultural Latino

Hinds Plaza and Palmer Square

The rich cultural life of Princeton's Latino community is celebrated with an afternoon of music, dance, food and crafts on both Hinds Plaza and Palmer Square. Part of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Celebrate Latino culture, creativity and community at this annual Princeton tradition. Enjoy two stages featuring live music, dance and cultural performances, along with artisan vendors, food, hands-on activities and educational experiences for all ages.

Hinds Plaza becomes a lively mercado featuring local artists and artisans, vendors and a DJ spinning music from across Latin America. Musicians and dancers will pop up throughout the plaza, creating an ever-changing celebration throughout the afternoon.

The Palmer Square stage will feature a full afternoon of live music and dance performances, while on the green, local nonprofits offer hands-on activities and crafts for children.
