Latin rhythms, colorful vendor displays, and the aroma of authentic cuisine filled the Green in historic downtown Dover, Delaware, on Saturday as the fourth annual Baila Con Dover Latin Festival brought residents, community groups, and local leaders together to celebrate Hispanic heritage and intercultural fellowship.

Dr. Maribel Garcia, pastor at Maranatha Life Changing Church—a multicultural congregation with members from over 20 countries—and president of Cold Purple Kent County, arrived with more than 50 volunteers.

Garcia explained that while Cold Purple Kent County operates emergency shelters for the homeless in winter, its year-round mission includes food and clothing pantries.

At the festival, the team distributed backpacks filled with school supplies, winter clothes, shoes, and food.

“Even though it’s a Spanish Latino festival, it’s bringing a lot of nations together that we can come together with one purpose to serve our community and bring some hope,” Garcia said, emphasizing that her favorite part of the day was “being able to serve the people and see the smiles in the children’s faces.”
