“Festival Latino has been close to my heart since we first helped bring it to life three years ago,” said Lynn Baca, Chair of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. “From the beginning, our vision was to create a space where families could come together to celebrate the rich traditions and vibrant culture that make Adams County so special. It’s inspiring to see how this event has grown, and I couldn’t be more excited to see the community continue to embrace and expand it year after year.”
In addition to the artistic and cultural offerings, the festival will also feature a variety of food vendors serving authentic cuisines, ensuring festival-goers can enjoy a true taste of Latino cultures. The festival will also feature commercial vendors showcasing items available for purchase and free community resource booths.
