The mainstage will offer performances of music and dance from Mexico, Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela.

Sin Barreras is a Charlottesville-based nonprofit with a second office in Waynesboro. They co-founded the Cville Sabroso festival through the mission to empower immigrants and their families in Central Virginia, focusing on the Latinx population, through education, advocacy and supporting their needs.
