Saturday, June 13 8PM – Close 21+ We’ve moved the party to STFU Navy Yard. While we were excited about our original location, major road closures and access restrictions near the White House would have made getting to and from the event difficult for many of our attendees. We listened to our community and decided to move the celebration to a venue we already know and love. If you’ve been to STFU before, you already know the vibe: velvet couches, an upscale speakeasy atmosphere, great sound, easy access, Metro nearby, and parking directly across the street. Same party. Better experience. 🔥 WHAT TO EXPECT 🔥 SALSA CLASS AT 8:30PM FOR BEGINNERS BY TELLIE! 🎶 ALL LATIN MUSIC 🥁 Live Performance by LG Bands La Banda Enjoy a special three-hour live set featuring the songs you asked for most. We’ve listened to our community and are bringing back the classics you love: 💃 90s & 2000s Latin Hits and more 🎶 Salsa 🎶 Bachata 🎶 Merengue 🎶 Cumbia 🎶 Reggaetón Classics 🎶 Crowd Favorites You Can Actually Sing Along To y más!

Join TASTE Takeover and Mamacita Festival for our Queer Latina Pride Float during World Pride 2026. This celebration is created for lesbians, sapphic women, queer Latinas, and WLW to come together in pride, music, and community during one of the most powerful moments of the year. This float is for women ONLY. RSVP: https://www.tastetakeover.com/event-details-registration/pride-float-2026 The parade is expected to begin around noon, with our float kickoff likely around 2 pm, although final parade details have not yet been released. As soon as the official schedule is announced we will update everyone with exact timing and lineup information. We will be returning with the same beautiful 40 ft flatbed float from last year that many of you remember. It was filled with incredible energy, flags, dancing, and Latin music that brought our community together in a truly unforgettable way. Last year the demand was extreme and spots sold out quickly, so this year we have adjusted pricing slightly due to the increased demand and higher production costs for the float, sound, and overall experience. Space on the float is limited and once spots are gone they are gone. Expect Latin music DJs, dancing, celebration, and an incredible Pride parade experience with our vibrant queer Latina community. If you have any questions please send us a DM or email us at [orgullo@gmail.com](mailto:orgullo@gmail.com). TASTE Takeover is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. A portion of proceeds from this event supports our community programs and future initiatives including Mamacita Festival. Donations and contributions may be tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donation receipts are available upon request.
