We invite you to The Latino Legacy Foundation’s Storytellers Festival, featuring Luis Valdez — master storyteller, playwright, actor, screenwriter, and pioneer in the Chicano civil rights movement – who will share the stage with notable local individuals, telling their uplifting stories, through the power of storytelling, building knowledge, fostering understanding and bringing us together.

Mr. Valdez is widely regarded as the father of Chicano film and theater, he is best known for his play Zoot Suit, his movie La Bamba, and his creation of El Teatro Campesino.

Special recognition will be bestowed upon State Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni G. Atkins and former San Diego Union-Tribune publisher/editor Jeff Light for their support in preserving our Latino Legacy.

The Storytellers Festival will be held at The Prado’s Ballroom, 1549 El Prado in Balboa Park, October 13, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event will include a welcoming outdoor reception with food and cultural entertainment, followed by our Storytellers program, which will be video recorded.

Event Background

The 2024 Storytellers Festival is an event activity of the Latino Legacy Foundation’s multimedia online project, San Diego Latino Legacy—Timeline – Milestones – Stories, with major support from the San Diego Union-Tribune and the state of California.

This project chronicles San Diego’s latino experience, including our historic roots, along with significant milestones, community evolution, momentous current events, and our future outlook.

These stories come to life through video interviews with individuals who made history, or who are now making history, as well as their descendants.

The online book is free and accessible to the general public, employers, parents, teachers, and students via our website.
