The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh is thrilled to welcome back students, stafff, and the Pittsburgh community for the 40th Annual Latin American and Caribbean Festival! The Festival has had many years of success and every year it seems to improve in the number and quality of groups that participate and the scope of media coverage. As the Latino and Hispanic population in Pittsburgh continues to grow, it makes the Festival one of the largest gatherings of Latinos in Western Pennsylvania. The mission of the festival is to showcase the cultures of Latin America in Pittsburgh and to inform the students and the general public of the resources that can be found in Pittsburgh.
