Fiesta Latina 2009

It was a great pleasure for us to host this multi-cultural event at beautiful Shakori Hills.

Over 2,000 guests enjoyed a day of live music, dance, delicious food and visited the many non-profit and business booths. Performers included Galumpha, who thrilled the crowds again; fabulous Bravo Norteño, local legends Saludos Compay, The Firehouse Rhythm Kings, the colorful Guadalupano Folk Ballet and our dear friend Cesar Merlos as a great MC.

The celebration continued in the Movement Tent with music and classes in acrobatics, hula-hooping and dance. Our Kid’s World was packed with activities from portrait drawing and facepainting to storytelling and pony rides, to name but a few.
