What we know:
There will be a parade with horses, motorcycles and dancers. Over 30 groups will participate in that.
Local food and drink vendors, dancing performances, mariachi bands, and DJs will keep the party going all day.
It’s the sixth year they’re having the event – in 2025, they had around 15,000 people.

"It’s a way to show everyone around us our culture, our beliefs," said parade organizer Edgar Albarrain. "I will say that we’re becoming stronger, like tighter as a community. Before I feel like it was more people doing their own stuff, but now it’s becoming a tight community. There are people becoming leaders in the community, organizing events, organizations, even businesses growing in Kenosha."
And if you went to the festival last year – expect more Sunday. Success in previous years is encouraging the organizers – Kenosha Creative Space – to make the event bigger this year.
It runs from noon to 10 p.m. Sunday at Harbor Park in Kenosha.
