Hispanic Heritage
Many visitors experience Fort Worth’s Hispanic heritage on the city’s North Side, but Latin American culture permeates many neighborhoods. About a third of Fort Worth’s approximate 900,000 population identifies as Hispanic.
Fort Worth is rich in culture -- from the Artes de la Rosa Cultural Center for the Arts and the renowned North Side High School Mariachi Band to family restaurants serving cuisine from El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. Whether you visit for the Best of Mexico Celebración at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo or for Dia de los Muertos, discover why we say Visita Fort Worth.
The Celebration Never Stops
Fort Worth's vibrant cultural heritage thrives all year-long through community events, restaurants and the city's entrepreneurs.
