The Mississauga Latin Festival marks a new hit every year, this year for the first time I held a private Opening Ceremony at the C-Banquet of the City Hall of Mississauga 2 days before the event, which was attended by its Sponsors, Diplomats, Politicians, and police officers from the Peel Region, media, leaders and members of the community.
The party continued on Sunday with folklore, cumbias, porros and closed a grand finale with the band "DE BRUCES A MI" that came directly from Medellin - Colombia, cataloged as one of the most representative bands of Colombian reggae to show the best of this Latin musical genre.
In 2016, 45 vendors, 230 artists on stage (among solo singers, Folklore Groups, Bands, and Orchestras), 18 painters in the Art Gallery, and 103 Volunteers from different nationalities with a total of 938 hours of Volunteering participated.
All this thanks to its sponsors LIUNA LOCAL 183, TD BANK, Francisco Garzón of ROYAL LEPAGE, Ana Rosa Parra of SUNLIFE FINANCIAL, AVIANCA, JARAMILLO MORA, AND BIENES & BIENES, to the media, and to the great teamwork that makes each year that this event is running, among the best LATINO Festivals in Ontario and Canada.
