As in previous years, this multicultural community celebration will showcase music and dance, arts and crafts, health screenings, children’s games, and food from popular area restaurants and vendors. This free event is accessible and open to the public, with free parking available at the high school.

The festival will bring together artists and ensembles from across New Jersey and the Tri-State Area, including live folkloric and popular music and dance representing traditions from diverse longstanding Latino communities in our region, including those originating in Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.

The Latino Festival Organizing Committee of Hightstown and East Windsor presents the event, operating under the auspices of Rise. We are actively seeking additional sponsors to support and enhance this celebration.
