LatinFest to debut in Hamburg July 11th
Buffalo, N.Y. (June 17, 2009) - The Buffalo area's newest summer festival, LatinFest, makes its debut July 11th, at 5pm. The event, which is free to the public and will feature free parking, food, dancing, live music, and kids' games/activities for teens, will take place on the grounds of the sprawling Wesleyan Church of Hamburg campus, located at 4999 McKinley Parkway, in Hamburg.
"I wanted to have a family-friendly, cultural event in the Southtowns," says event organizer Johnny Juarez, who is also an international recording artist. "This event is for everyone, and will feature a flag parade, so I encourage you to bring a flag representing your country of origin. It will be a great time for Western New Yorkers to come together for a nice night of fun, dining and dancing, Latin-style."
LatinFest will feature Spanish speakers, singers and recording artists. Whether or not you speak Spanish, you're welcome to come enjoy this "Spanglish" (English-Spanish) event, a first of its kind for Western New York.
