Preview: Festival Latinoamericano

This Sunday, Arlingtonians will have the opportunity to take part in Festival Latinoamericano, Arlington County’s annual Latin American celebration.

The festival, which is free, will feature food vendors, arts and crafts and over a dozen performers, including folkloric dancers from the Bolivian Institute of Arts and Dance. A wide variety of local musicians, ranging from a duo of tango dancers to a Caribbean band, will also perform.

Sixteen information tables will be at the festival, representing county organizations such as Tell Arlington’s Story and the Arlington Latino Network. The Department of Human Resources will also be present to discuss job recruiting and housing information.

There are several additions to this year’s festival, including face painting, a YMCA mobile unit with games for children and free zumba classes.

The festival will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Thomas Jefferson Middle School at 125 S. Old Glebe Rd.
