This Sept 16th, come see what Ballet Folklorico Tayahua has been building towards since 2021. For the 3rd year in a row and always on the same day as ArtWauk, BFT has put on the best Fiestas Patrias Festival in Waukegan. You'll see live performances by popular bands, community resources from our nonprofit partners, and delicious street food cooked by local small businesses right here in downtown Waukegan. While you're here, make sure you check out what our fellow artists are up to during our monthly ArtWauk.

If you want to help us put on Lake County's most ambitious Fiestas Patrias Festival, please consider becoming a sponsor or vendor. Our events simply would not be possible without contributions from local institutions and small businesses like yours. BFT is a fully certified 501(c)(3) and all of our funding goes back towards our core mission. If you like our programming and think the Festival is a great idea, you have a couple of options below.
