IMPACT & EXPOSURE
This event works to bring resources to the local communities. Last year, the event was hosted in San Bernardino County & San Diego County. We believe that our event directly impacts the lives of 20% of its attendees and that makes this event successful. Every family is important and makes a difference in their community.
Data from the 4 month 2021 Virtual Festival

About the event
The purpose of the event is to help and impart opportunities in the community, ideally reaching out to Latino families and youth. Highlight the importance of literacy (books, health, wealth) and promote awareness of college, career paths, and community resources. Meet our Award Winning role model authors as they share the importance of reading, activism & equal representation.
The Latino Book & Family Festival was first celebrated in 1997, and up to now 70 festivals have been held since then in eight markets around the USA including Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, San Bernardino, and San Diego.
The Latino Book & Family Festivals is a community program of Empowering Latino Futures, a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Fallbrook, CA. The organization believes that community success is limited by access to resources and so it provides this free setting to learn and be exposed to opportunities.
