Latin Quarter World's Fair
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the beloved Jamaica Plain event and the neighborhood is commemorating this milestone and celebrating Hyde-Jackson Square’s formal designation than with a re-imagined street festival celebrating Afro-Latin arts, culture, and history that also creates opportunities for local Latinx merchants, residents, and youth.
The LQWF is organized by local activists, artists, organizations, youth, residents, and merchants who are committed to creating an event that represents the spirit of past events while ensuring that the planning process is inclusive of the current community’s esteemed input.
With a series of public community meetings, planning sessions, and surveys leading up to the event where everyone can play a role the Latin Quarter World’s Fair will indeed be an event para la comunidad, por la comunidad. What makes the LQWF unique is its mission to create accessible & beneficial opportunities for local merchants, artists, and youth by providing bilingual training on the public event license process and covering the cost of temporary food permits for all participating Jamaica Plain food businesses, training and hiring youth to lead event activities at an hourly rate of $20 per hour, paying all artists who create or perform at the event for their time and their services, and offering free vendor spaces for Jamaica Plain small businesses.
