Presented by Cultural Coalition and Tempe Center for the Arts, the 13th Annual El Puente Festival, is a free event that showcases the Valleys most talented youth performers with a day full of music, dance, and storytelling.

Known for its signature community parade across the bridge, or “el puente” in spanish, this festival brings together artists of all ages to highlight the importance of connecting traditional arts and culture practices from one generation to the next. High school mariachi music, elementary school ballet folklórico dances, and free arts activities are just a few of the things attendees will enjoy during this event.

The festival will have a variety of educational and arts activities for youth of all ages, including free books, hands-on crafts, and activities that get excited feet moving to the beat of the live music. Cultural Coalition will activate multiple areas of TCA with the performing arts including the Studio, lobby, and outdoor areas for food trucks and more!

This event is made possible with support from Tempe Center for the Arts, Raza Development Fund, SRP, and individual donors.
