Latino festival

Wilmington was a little spicy Saturday, that is because people came together to indulge in the sights and sounds of Latin America. And for many festival goers, there was a lot to celebrate.

Lucy Vasquez of Amigos International said, “Everyone, not just Latinos, but everyone comes out to enjoy the food, the music, the dancing, the kids fiesta, pinatas every hour.”

Traditional Latin American food was certainly a hit. While others enjoyed listening and dancing to some favorite Latin tunes. For families, the Latino festival was the place to be.
Kids made friends and keepsakes.

Family is front and center in Latino culture. So it was important for festival organizers to include activities for people of all ages. This fiesta wasn’t short guests this year, everyone wanted to share in the joys of the Latino culture.
