Arlene Ortiz, founder and producer of the event, and Vice President of the Jacksonville/San Juan Sister Cities program, states: “In its growth, the Expo has included other Latin American Countries such as; Cuba, Santo Domingo, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, Peru and many others, who will share an educational and cultural message with our diverse community, by having pavilions where each country will be represented.
New exciting additions are in the scope for this year’s event! They include Cultural Folkloric Music with live entertainment and a Latin American Food Court, highlighting traditional foods from their respective cultures. We will be featuring the Coffee, Cocoa and Chocolate exhibits detailing the history and growth of these industries in Latin America, with coffee tastings, a barista contest, chocolate recipes, and cake & candy samplings. The Kids Zone will consist of interactive games, entertainers, water slides, a petting Zoo and much more!!
In order to give everyone a chance to participate, we have also extended our event to 2 days! The event will take place on November 18th and 19th, a Saturday and Sunday, for everyone’s enjoyment.
We wish to extend our thanks to all who have supported us in the past and welcome you to do so again this year.
