Celebrating Hispanic heritage

Ha Comedy Festival is a place that celebrates all forms of new mainstream comedy from  stand-up to sketch to film in order to cast a spotlight on Latinx performers and foster inclusivity.

City of San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said of the HA Festival, “Not only does the festival bring high-quality entertainment and a showcase of San Antonio on film, but it also adds to our citywide celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.”

“Hispanic heritage and culture are the heartbeat of San Antonio, and we are a city that recognizes the importance of representation and inclusion of Latinos in all places and spaces, especially the entertainment industry. To be the site of a festival that gives Latinos a voice and platform is a great point of pride,” he added.
