Saturday, August 22, 2026 · 18th & Peoria, Pilsen
To every runner who met us at sunrise, every body that moved on 16th Street, and everyone who danced the Pachanga into the night: thank you. Our first Sweat Fest belonged to you.
Thank you to the instructors and DJs who carried two stages from morning to close, to the volunteers who held the day together, to the vendors and food partners who fed us, to our sponsors, and to the neighbors of Pilsen who welcomed a festival onto their streets.
Gracias por movernos, Chicago. El movimiento es nuestro.
Con amor, The Latina Sweat Project
