Thank you so much to all who braved the weather on Saturday to join in our Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration!

We may have had the rain coming in and out but it didn't dampen the joyful spirit present in our performers, vendors, and attendees. We deeply appreciate all who came out. What a great turnout for such cloudy skies!

And also, thank you to our great group of volunteers, our sound crew, and our event and year-round sponsors!

¡Muchísimas gracias!
