Tacos y Tamales Festival music

From the first note to the last dance, Tacos y Tamales Festival brings a full weekend of Latin-inspired music to the streets of Pilsen.

Across multiple stages, you’ll hear everything from classic mariachi and norteño to Latin pop, cumbia, rock en español, and high-energy DJs spinning all weekend.

As you explore the fest, don’t be surprised if you stumble across a pop-up performance mid-bite. Dancers and street performers are woven throughout the street, turning the festival into a full-sensory celebration of Latin culture.

Whether you’re here to dance, eat and drink, or just take it all in, this is the sound of summer in Chicago.
