“This year we are going to have 20 vendors. We also have the space now to welcome some merchandise vendors. Last year we had a couple of merchandise vendors, but not as many as we would have liked because we just didn’t have the space. The food is delicious. The bar is wonderful and the merchandise is going to be really fun.”

The Hispanic Heritage Festival is free and open to the entire public from 6 pm to midnight.
