Those wishing to celebrate Latino culture during Hispanic Heritage Month, which kicked off Sept. 15 and runs through Oct. 15, can check out Frederick’s fifth annual Latino Festival Sunday, Sept. 27, from noon to 5 p.m. at Frederick Community College.
This year’s festival, set to take place between the FCC library and the field house, will feature food, music and activities for children and adults.
Proceeds from the Latino Festival go to Progreso Latino Scholarship Fund, which is managed by the Community Foundation of Frederick County.
Over the past four years, the festival has provided about $17,000 in scholarships for high school students with financial need who show academic promise, said Beverly Hendrix. Hendrix is the director of diversity at Frederick Community College and helped organize the event.
