The 2020 [Virtual] Loisaida Festival - Sunday, May 31st!

We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and sound at this moment. We wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who tuned in for the first part of our Virtual Loisaida Festival last week. It was our first time streaming a live broadcast from our new Tech & Media Center, "El Semillero", and we learned many lessons along the way. 

For the second part of the festival, we are bringing you an array of outstanding performances, accompanied by  nostalgic memories from our previous festivals and hopeful messages from our performers and special guests. You don't want to miss it! 
Our [ Virtual] Loisaida Festival's theme " Cuenta Con Nosotros - Count on Uswill highlight the unwavering dedication of our Latinx essential workers, who have bravely fought in the frontlines against the ongoing health crisis, as well as the plight of the LGBTQ community, as depicted in this year's beautiful commemorative artwork by local artist Maria Dominguez
