Franklin County Latino Heritage Festival returns for second year
The Franklin County Latino Heritage Festival returns to Jackson Ave. in downtown Russellville this Sat., Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. A collaborative endeavor thanks to community, business and religious leaders, this annual festival showcases the diverse Latin cultures present in the local community.
Not only will this event expose festivalgoers to the diversity within the Latino community, it will also promote cultural unity and foster positive relationships. Honoring one’s ancestors and lineage will serve as this year’s theme.
In Mexican culture, this remembrance is traditionally called “Dia de los Muertos.” This all-day, family-focused interactive event will feature live entertainment, dancing competitions, hands-on children’s activities tents, a street soccer match, a vintage car show and a closing parade.
