The Latino Community Association (LCA) invites Central Oregon communities to its 9th Annual Festival of Cultures on September 26 at Redmond’s Centennial Park from 10am-6pm.

The Festival is an international affair including booths set up by Central Oregon residents representing roughly twenty diverse cultures from around the world and Oregon’s first community-based Official Citizenship Oath Ceremony.

This year’s event will include live Latin music from Chiringa, Polynesian Hokule’a dancers, Celtic dancing, Warm Springs children’s dancers and more. Ethnic food vendors will provide tastes from Thailand, India, El Salvador, Mexico, Korea, and Italy.
There will be a great kid’s area again with multiple non-profits providing activities and games, as well as the popular Passport Challenge game with prizes.
The final element is our International Street Fair (flea market) that provides access to informal vendors selling a broad array of products and services. And the spray park will be open!
For the past 15 years, the LCA has been empowering Latino families and children and building bridges across cultures to create a more resilient Central Oregon. Their programs, which impact nearly 7,000 people every year, include Workforce Empowerment, Family Empowerment, Healthy Families and Cultural Enrichment. LCA also provides translation services and diversity training.
Vendor applications will be accepted until September 21. Non-profits are invited to host a kids’ activity in exchange for free booth space.
