Endorsed by the city of Columbia and supported by South Carolina Hispanic Outreach, the purpose of the Main Street Latin Festival is to showcase the culture and vitality of Columbia’s Latin community. This is done by bringing together diverse groups of people to celebrate and share the Latin culture through its foods, arts, dances and music in a fun, family-oriented environment.

Year after year, thousands of people fill Main Street in beautiful downtown Columbia, SC. The streets are filled with the sounds of salsa, meringue, reggaeton and grupero music, folkloric dancers and Latin foods.

Main Street Latin Festival is once again looking forward to serving its community at our upcoming annual festival on Saturday, August 23, 2014 (with Kickoff Party on Friday, August 22, 2014). This is an event you won’t want to miss! A portion of this year’s proceeds benefit Latino Communications.
