NYC'S Latin Food Fest is back: Celebrating culture and empowering Hispanic-owned small businesses in Brooklyn | amNewYork
"The Latin Food Fest returns to Brooklyn's Industry City this weekend, Sept. 13-14, from noon to 7 p.m. The two-day event will feature more than 70 Hispanic-owned small businesses along with 14 major performances, art installations and other activities. Visitors will find five stages where they can eat, dance and enjoy activities such as a Bad Bunny look-alike contest, an empanada contest, and more."
"Sharing Hispanic culture is so important because food carries memory, history, and love. When I cook, I'm not only preparing a dish, I'm sharing a piece of my roots and the traditions that shaped me, Quinteros said. Shalma's vision for this event is to show that Latin America is not defined by a single culture, but by a diverse region united by a passion for food, family, and community."
