Carnaval Latino In New Orleans

By Sharon Keating, About.com

New Orleans has long been a mixture of beautiful people, of all races and colors. Every year the city celebrates its Latino population in the festival "Carnaval Latino."

Carnaval Latino:

The Latino people have always been a valuable ingredient in the "gumbo" that is New Orleans. Now, they have become even more visible thanks to the many citizens of Latin American countries who have come to New Orleans to help in the rebuilding process. The local Hispanic performing artists are helping the city to reach out to the community with their best energy, food and music, in this three day event open to all who love and appreciate the culture.

For all the detail, go to the official website.

The Parade

And if the music and food aren't enough to tempt you, how about a great New Orleans style parade with a Latin twist. That's part of the festival also.
