Folks of all ages and from all walks of life came to the Symphony Park at SouthPark on Oct. 11 for the 19th Annual Latin American Festival.

The aroma of foods from from Latin American countries filled the air. Festival-goers heard musical performances ranging from salsa, to merengue, to mariachi to Rock en Espanol, to joropo.

Attendance was between 18,000 and 22,000 people, says Tony Arreaza, Latin American Coalition event coordinator for the Latin American Festival. "We saw an nice percentage increase in non-Latino (American) attendees, and we are extremely pleased with this year’s festival turnout."
