Join the Latino Community Association for lively Latin music, swirling dancers, food and cultural booths, a community resource fair and activities for kids at the 2021 Latino Fest at Sahalee Park, SE Seventh and C streets in Madras. The event, from 11am-5pm on Saturday, September 11, will include COVID-19 vaccinations, and free masks and food boxes.

On stage, the band Super de Durango y El Rorro from Forest Grove, Oregon, will serenade the audience with its regional Mexican music. A new ballet folkloric group, Grupo de Danza México Lindo, will debut at the festival. New this year, locals can show off their moves during a Latin dance competition. Call Hilda León at 541-350-9280 to register in advance.

Everyone who attends will need to wear a face mask, per Governor Brown’s order for crowded outdoor events.
