Cincy-Cinco Latino Family Festival:
Apr 30-May 1

The 2nd annual Cincy-Cinco Latino Family Festival will take place April 30 and May 1 at Coney Island Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. We are in need of volunteers for this event. You would work a four-hour shift either day. You will receive a T-shirt and two Riverbend Music Center concert tickets for your service. This is a non-profit organization whose proceeds benefit the local growing hispanic commuity. Bi-lingual helpful but not necessary. Our volunteers have a great time!

The event will take place at Coney Island on April 30, 2005, from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM and May 1, 2005, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The event will kick off with a celebration of Latin American Children's Day (Dia del Niño) in the Children's Pavilion. The Dance Pavilion will have performances of traditional dances with their rich sounds and colorful costumes from many Latin American countries like Peru, Puerto Rico, Argentina, and Mexico. In the Arts Pavilion, there will be the largest group of Latin American Artists in Tri-State history. The Food Pavilion will offer authentic Latino food by some of the best local Latino restaurants. In the Music Pavilion, presented by Budweiser True Music, there will be a wide variety of local and regional live entertainment. The Health Pavilion will provide an opportunity for local health service providers to share information about resources available to Latinos and the community in general. The Business Pavilion, presented by PNC Bank, will include participation by the Tri-State‚s leading corporations, including Procter & Gamble.

Most importantly, all proceeds of this event will be directed to Latino based philanthropies that primarily serve Latinos who recently arrived to the Tri-State. Admission for the event is just $10 for adults. Children under 16 are free. Purchase your tickets in advance at area Kroger stores and receive a $2 discount.
