Since 2011, Casita Maria’s South Bronx Culture Festival (SBCF) has celebrated the vibrant cultures of the community through this free annual event, anchored by a new theme each year.

The 2026 theme, Dream Big, Stay Rooted, is a call to action to aim for the stars while honoring and staying grounded in your heritage. To amplify this message, the festival lineup includes music, art, and dance—from homegrown Latin jazz, mambo, and salsa to Afro-Cuban hip-hop.
