It's a free event with music, live entertainment, delicious ethnic food, artisan and food vendors, children and teen area, carnival games, exhibitors and much more!

Goals & Objectives

Prince George's is dedicated to diversity, equity and, inclusion and, has the largest Hispanic population in the state of MD. This event brings the entire community together to celebrate the rich culture and heritage of our Latino residents.

Results & Impact

We now have local County government agencies and non-profit organizations on-site to provide much-needed services, employment opportunities and, other information. This engagement has helped build trust within the Hispanic community that their government is here to support them and their families.
