3rd Annual Latino Festival of Hightstown
& East Windsor
"Bringing our communities together through the arts!"
Rocky Brook Park, nestled in a quiet area of quaint
Hightstown NJ near warehouses, historic homes and a few blocks from the Borough
Center provided a nice location.
Bordered by a stream and small woods I could imagine walks to observe
nature and other outdoor gatherings.
Literature distributed at the event lists several
partners, sponsors, a 20+ person Festival Organizing Committee and several Exhibitors,
have a look at some links.
RISE – Community Services
Wells Fargo Bank N.A.

Twin Rivers Animal Hospital
Asociacion Guatemalteca – Childrens’s Futures
and Karen Abad of Latin American Legal Defense and
Education Fund, The Peddie School, Eclipse Total DJ, Yellow Taxi Cab, St.
Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and Latter Day Saints Mission.
With performances by artists from several countries
including Belize, Ecudor, Peru, Spain, Guatemala, Costa Rica and the Dominican
Republic there was plenty to see and hear during the 12-5pm event.
I had the pleasure to chat with Miss Teen Guatemala
Isabel Avila, Hamilton Township Councilwoman Ileana Schirmer and Hightstown Councilman
Conner Montferrat, have a listen via the Trenton 365 archives.

My time at the 3rd Annual Latino Festival of
Hightstown & East Windsor NJ was delightful, with wonderful entertainment
and a diverse mix of vendors and exhibitors.
I am encouraged by the continuous efforts of people who
believe in making every attempt to assimilate all residents into the community
to build a better community. Kudos to
all who are a part of the 3rd Annual Latino festival of Hightstown
& East Windsor.
