2024 Hispanic Festival

A day-long celebration of Hispanic culture at RiverScape MetroPark in the heart of Downtown Dayton! This event kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month! There will be a parade, live music, dancing, entertainment, and authentic Latin food all day (11am-11pm), and much, much more! More details and updates will be announced on this event page as they become available/confirmed. Stay tuned!

The Hispanic Heritage Festival benefits the Puerto Rican, American, and Caribbean Organization (PACO). PACO is a non-profit organization dedicated to the success of the Hispanic community in the Dayton, OH area.

This Festival is PACO's largest fundraiser of the year and it enables PACO to fulfill its mission through scholarships to local Hispanic students, events to support the local Hispanic community and promote Hispanic culture, and other charitable initiatives. PACO is entirely run by volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer at this Festival, please stay tuned for information about how to sign up for your preferred spot!
