The day was filled with music, food, art, dance and activities showcasing and celebrating the Latino culture.

Committee Co-chairs Perla Rosales Avila and Leslie Torres working fulltime at Crisis Intervention and Advocacy Center say "Thank you to everyone who came and supported the 22nd Osceola Latino Festival organized by many community members. The day was beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing so much participation. Hope to see everyone next year for a full day of fun, sharing the Latino culture.  Thank you to all the committee members, sponsors, entertainment, and vendors without them this would not be possible".
