The 2026 Festival Latino was hot in all possible ways! The music, food and lively community made the event a success, and the OSU booth volunteers offered nonstop engagement with community members who were excited to learn about the people, research and services that make the OSU Latinx Studies action circle special. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Latinx Studies Program, the Center for Latin American Studies, the Center for Ethnic Studies and the Humanities Institute wish to thank all the dedicated volunteers who made participation at Festival Latino possible, and also thank all the friends and family who showed up to the booth to root for our resilience and boost our energy ahead of the new academic year. ¡Adelante siempre!
