Latino Festival Back Soon to Columbus
June 7, 2008
As today is my birthday, 32 years old, I won’t be doing much blogging today. But as a Spanish instructor, I found this article about the Latino Festival and thought I’d write a post about it.
This year the festival will be dramatically scaled back. It will take place June 20-21 in downtown Columbus but will reduce hours that will last from only 5-11 pm. There will be a concert the second night by Los Huracanes del Norte and Lucero Terrazas.
Another first is the admission fee that you will pay to enter. On the first night, attendees will pay $1 to enter, but on the second night the cost will rise to $30.
The organizers claim this is a necessity due to rising costs. Is it another local sign of a troubled economy?
I know I won’t pay the fee to attend the second night and I bet many others feel the same. This may serve to be the beginning of the end of this festival.
