The CLC/Triangle will have a table at this event featuring health, museum information, and more.

                    This event, in its 16th year, celebrates Latino culture among the Latin American community and its supporters. The festival provides a great opportunity for community education, including a health fair which offers free vaccines, dental and vision screenings, blood pressure and glucose tests; a public safety fair; and information and educational resources from more than 230 organizations that offer free materials and information on a variety of community services.  La Fiesta gives non-Latinos the chance to learn about the varied cultural heritage of Latinos in the United States, but also gives Latinos themselves the opportunity to appreciate and celebrate their own achievements as a burgeoning community in North Carolina.
