Next Stop Puerto Rico!
The 5th Annual Festival of the Diaspora is heading back to where the movement started in 2022, San Juan, Puerto Rico! Having held festivals in three countries over the last four years, we return to Historic San Juan with a more comprehensive event that now includes a pitch competition, fashion show, exhibition hall, incredible content from the stage and the unveiling of the first FOTD100 list which will honor 100 leaders across the Americas in our closing gala.
Whether you’ve attended before or are a first-time festival-goer, we invite you to register today and experience the joy and diversity of our diasporic community.
