Pan Americana Festival's Time Has Come

Hispanic movies, music, literature, art and food help shape who we are as individuals, as a nation, and as a people of the Western Hemisphere where traditions cross borders. Pan Americana Festival celebrates this reality and as a signature, Austin-based, multicultural event welcomes people from all walks of life. The weeklong series of cultural experiences—kicking off in mid-March, 2011—are held across the city, inviting the world to celebrate a slice of Americana and our rich artistic legacy.
