Get ready to eat, dance and celebrate! Arlington\u2019s Hispanic Heritage Celebration<\/a> returns to the Levitt Pavilion Arlington<\/a> on Saturday, Oct. 3, for its fifth annual celebration of Hispanic culture and community.<\/p>\n

From delicious food and cultural performances to live music and salsa dancing, the free, family-friendly event will bring the community together for an evening of fun in the heart of Downtown Arlington.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event means so much to the Levitt and to our community. It\u2019s going to be so much fun. We really need you there,\u201d said Angela Pe\u00f1a, Executive Director Levitt Pavilion Arlington<\/p>\n

The celebration continues to grow each year. More than 6,000 people attended last year, and organizers are hoping to welcome around 7,000 this year. The Levitt Pavilion is located at 100 W Abram St.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year it gets bigger and bigger. It really shows that the community is here for one another. And it\u2019s not just the Latinos in the community, it\u2019s all of Arlington,\u201d said Karina Nu\u00f1ez, social media manager for the Arlington Latino Advisory Council.<\/p>\n

The festivities kick off at 4 p.m. with a market featuring more than 60 food, retail, cultural and nonprofit vendors. Throughout the evening, attendees can enjoy performances, dancing and live music.<\/p>\n

The celebration is more than a night of entertainment. It is an opportunity for Arlington residents to come together and recognize the culture, contributions and growing presence of the city\u2019s Hispanic community.<\/p>\n

\u201cLatinos are part of every aspect of our community. We own businesses, we own homes, we are educators and we are everywhere. It\u2019s important that we celebrate the contributions we make to Arlington,\u201d said Sal Morales, co-chair of the Arlington Latino Advisory Council<\/p>\n
