Festival Hispano will celebrate 20 years in Sussex County Aug. 10

Festival Hispano will be held from noon to 6 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 10, at the Millsboro Little League Complex on State Street in Millsboro as El Centro Cultural celebrates the 20th year of Festival Hispano in Sussex County.

Festival Hispano is free and open to anyone who wants to celebrate Hispanic cultural heritage. This day includes beautiful music, folkloric dances, plenty of delicious Mexican and Latin American food, information and services targeting the Hispanic community, and a special area dedicated exclusively to children's entertainment and activities.

The event is one of the many activities sponsored by the local nonprofit arts organization known as El Centro Cultural. Formed in 1995 to provide more artistic, cultural and social programs, El Centro Cultural plays an important role in discovering and promoting local Hispanic artists, supporting local arts education, and coordinating local community events.

Festival Hispano is made possible by important grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, Atlantic General Hospital, Bayhealth Medical Center, Beebe Healthcare, Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles, Discover Bank, El Mercado Market, Harvard Business Services, La Tonalteca, Perdue Farms, and Sussex County Council.
