Lake Worth Heritage Festival in Lake Worth is Palm Beach County’s largest Hispanic celebration. Occurring during the celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, HispanicFest combines the rich tradition of native Hispanic dance, children’s activities, contemporary arts, music and food.
Lake Worth Heritage Festival is a celebration of Hispanic heritage, culture, food, music, education and entertainment enjoyed by all ages and ethnic backgrounds.
In its inaugural year, 2003, the event drew over 10,000 people and featured the internationally known “King of Salsa”, Roberto Torres and his 12 piece orchestra. Local and regional performers delighted the crowds and over 15 dance groups from local Hispanic cultural organizations performed along with an array of rising stars in our Latin Idol competition. Top dance groups thrilled the audience as conga beats, crisp horns, the unmistakable clave, all blended together in rhythmic melodies the way music is supposed to be played – with a lot of inner energy and a “Pasión” that is unmistakably Latin.
The 2010 celebration will soar to new heights with expanded activities and more of the great Latin music and entertainment you have come to love. Check our website from time-to-time as it will be continually updated as the event finalizes and mark your calendar now for Saturday, October 16. You won’t want to miss a minute of the fun and excitement of HispanicFest in Bryant Park. HispanicFest in Lake Worth, Inc. is not-for-profit. Proceeds from the event support the non-profit activities of the Founders.
