Latino Fest 2024 was nothing short of a spectacular celebration of Latino culture in Boise, filling Cecil D. Andrus Park with an electric atmosphere that resonated across the Treasure Valley. The vibrant sounds of cumbia, salsa, and reggaeton echoed through the air as Latinos from all corners of the world gathered to celebrate their shared heritage and the orgullo that binds them together.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the park came alive with the aroma of authentic Latino cuisine. Micheladas flowed steadily, while local Latino vendors showcased their crafts, flavors, and traditions, creating a market that was as lively and diverse as the people it served. From handmade jewelry to mouthwatering street food, every corner of the park offered a taste of the rich cultural tapestry that defines the Latino community in Boise.

The crowd danced and swayed, their spirits lifted by the music that connected them to their roots. The atmosphere was infectious, with raza of all ages joining in the celebration.
But the night truly hit its stride when A.B. Quintanilla and the Kumbia All Starz took the stage.
