With the goal of highlighting and empowering female entrepreneurs, authors, artists, activists, athletes and more, the sixth annual LATINAFest is taking place on Sunday, March 24 at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Los Angeles.

“It’s a celebration of all things Latina,” said Naibe Reynoso, who along with business partner Bel Hernandez Castillo, co-founded the single-day event.

“It’s a place where we feel seen, we feel heard, there are platforms for us to speak about topics that resonate with us. It’s a festival for multiple generations and everyone is welcomed, not just Latinas,” she added.

With about 3,000 people expected to attend the festival, Hernandez Castillo said that in the past the vibe has been so uplifting, she likes to compare it to “a Latina Disneyland.”

“There’s so much to do, so much to buy from other Latinas who are entrepreneurs,” she said. “Most of the products and services are culturally-driven and you’ll find things you won’t find at other outdoor festivals because it all comes from a passion of being who we are.”

Here’s what you can expect at LATINAFest.

Several panels are planned throughout the day including “The Ladies of Lopez,” which will feature actors and creators of the NBC show “Lopez Vs.
