our story

bb piñata was founded with a vision to build a community hub in the heart of Oak Cliff that celebrates childhood wonder and fosters meaningful connections - a beautiful, culturally relevant space where kids could explore, create, and thrive while their grown-ups unwind, connect, and build lasting connections with fellow community members.

bb piñata's founder and CEO, Kristen Castro, hails from sunny and tropical Miami, Florida and is a proud Oak Cliff Latina mama with a passion for curating unforgettable moments. Kristen's journey through various roles – from Big 4 consultant to teacher, attorney, and chief of staff – has laid the groundwork for bb piñata's bright and intentional adventure. With her knack for building communities and crafting human-centered experiences, Kristen is all about spreading joy. She's thrilled to infuse every aspect of bb piñata with her love for thoughtful, personalized touches that make everyone feel truly seen and cared for. Let's get this party started! 🎉
