Ruidosa Fest, the acclaimed female-led music festival and cultural platform founded by Francisca Valenzuela, will return to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, July 12, 2026, as part of Lincoln Center's Summer for the City festival.

Now in its third consecutive year at Lincoln Center, the free, all-day event brings together artists, activists, authors, producers and cultural leaders from across the Americas for a celebration of music, conversation, learning and community engagement. Rooted in Ruidosa's mission of amplifying the voices of women and gender-diverse creatives, this year's festival expands its cultural programming while showcasing an impressive lineup of internationally recognized performers.

The 2026 music lineup features GRAMMY Award-winning artist Lila Downs; CLUB VITTAR, the dance-floor experience led by global superstar Pabllo Vittar; Ruidosa founder Francisca Valenzuela; Colombian synth-pop favorite Elsa y Elmar; GRAMMY-nominated Chilean artist Rubio; acclaimed vocalist, composer and producer duendita; and Mexican singer-songwriter Edna Vazquez. CLUB VITTAR programming will also include performances by Dominga & Volvox and Armana Khan.

Beyond the music, the festival will feature a range of community and educational programs, including How to Be a Guerrilla Girl y Hacer Ruido, a conversation with the legendary feminist art collective Guerrilla Girls and artist Coco Fusco; From Cultural Memory to Sound, a masterclass led by Latin GRAMMY-winning producer and songwriter Ella Bric; and a literary gathering presented in partnership with the National Book Foundation and Café Con Libros.

"Ruidosa was created to build community, amplify voices, and imagine new possibilities through culture," said founder Francisca Valenzuela. "We're honored to return to Lincoln Center with a program that celebrates artistic excellence while creating meaningful spaces for connection, learning, and collective empowerment."
