Tri-City Latino Festival Canceled Amid Economic Challenges
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) – The Tri-City Latino Association has officially canceled the Tri-City Latino Festival, originally set for September 20, 2025, in Columbus.

“It is with sincere regret that we inform you the Tri-City Latino Festival will not be taking place this year,” the organization stated, acknowledging the disappointment felt by many in the community. The festival has long been a vital cultural event in the region, celebrating Latino heritage through food, music, dance, and community engagement, and it has drawn residents from Columbus, Phenix City, and Fort Benning.
