The Lorain County Latino Celebration begins Saturday September

It’s a film narrated by actor Jimmy Smith that explains the
Puerto Rican history, experience, and culture (both on the
island and main land). This movie will enlighten both Puerto
Ricans and non Puerto Ricans about the issues, traditions and
the culture that influenced the Puerto Rican community of
Yesterday and Today. The director and producer is Rosie Pérez.
On Sunday September 21, 2008 from 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm in
cooperation with the Lorain County Metroparks, at Lakeview Park
in the City of Lorain, we will have music, food, dancing,
displays, and an overall celebration. Groups that will be in
attendance are Alma de Mexico, a Mexican dance group, Raices
Latinas, a Puerto Rican dance group, and other dance groups from
the Cleveland, Ohio area. Music will be performed by Salsa
sensation Sammy DeLeón and Charlie Sánchez’s Latin Jazz Group
“UPFRONT/ADELANTE,” which is a modern and contemporary band with
a Spanish flare. Last but not least Justo with 107.3 FM
The Wave, who will perform exciting and music to get your off
your feet!
On top of the festive dancing and music there will be art, food
and much more! For more information call Richard at 440.213.7329
