Coming Home
¡Estamos de vuelta! For over a decade, we’ve held our heritage celebration in Kirkwood. But this year, el sabor de la isla is moving to South City St. Louis.
Marquette Park will transform into our "Callejón Central"—a corridor of rhythm, history, and community. Join us as we activate South City with the sights and sounds of Puerto Rico.
