RadioACTive Pop! x Empanada Festival 2026

Ana Valdemoros of Argentina's Best Empanadas joins us to celebrate empanadas, which the community will celebrate at the 6th Annual Empanada Fest in April. This year sees the fest move to a bigger location, with an invitation to all cultures to contribute their version of a pastry filled with sweet or savory fillings. 

  • The name empanada comes from the Spanish verb empanar, meaning "to wrap in bread."

  • How many countries can you name with something similar? And no, a Danish does not count. Or does it?!

The festival is accepting vendor applications through March 13. To apply, click here. Selections will be announced on March 16.
