The free, all-ages day programming begins at 10:30 a.m. and concludes at 3:30 p.m. Workshops on Latin music and performing arts, and Hispanic art and culture run throughout the day. The ticketed concert begins at 6 p.m. at the Plaza Mayor. Local bands on the lineup include Mala Maña, Baracutanga and The Big Spank. Solo electronica project Mexican Institute of Sound reps the vision of DJ/producer Camilo Lara.
