Celebrate the contribution of the Hispanic community to the Philadelphia region at the 2012 Hispanic Fiesta at Penn’s Landing, July 14-15.
From 2-8 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, the event will feature music, dance, entertainment and authentic Latin American cuisine.
Specifically, in addition to the music of Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, salsa, bachata, merengue and musica urbana, the fiesta will showcase artisan crafts and authentic foods from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Colombia and other parts of Latin America.
The Hispanic Fiesta, hosted by The Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations of Philadelphia (Concilio), donates all proceeds to the social service programs provided by Concilio to vulnerable families throughout Philadelphia.
Concilio celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year, so it’s an extra-special time to celebrate.
