Celebrating 29 years of culture in St. Louis
Founded by Haniny Hillberg, a native Bolivian and passionate advocate for the Hispanic community, the festival has proudly celebrated Hispanic culture in St. Louis for over 29 years. The first festival was held in 1996 with just $500 and a one-day gathering in Faust Park.
Over the years, Hispanic Festival, Inc. has grown into one of the largest cultural celebrations in the region, amplifying the voices of local Hispanic-owned businesses, cultural organizations, and nonprofits.
