One of Baytown's biggest and most colorful annual celebrations is just around the corner!

Baytown's Grito Fest returns to Bicentennial Park on Saturday, October 3rd, for a full day of music, food, family fun and a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

The free community event will feature live entertainment, food and shopping vendors, family activities, competitions and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors of the day. Crowd favorites include the Grito Shout Competition, Accordion Competition, Jalapeño Eating Contest, and both the Backyard and Restaurant Salsa Contests.

Adding to its list of accomplishments, Grito Fest was named the 2025 Texas Travel Award winner for "Small to Mid-Market Community Event."

We'll share more details as the event gets closer.
