Amigos de Westfield returns for third year

Amigos de Westfield returns for its third annual celebration of authentic Latin American culture. The event will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 26 at Asa Bales Park.

“Amigos de Westfield has really become something of a tradition here in Westfield,” Westfield Parks and Recreation Director Melody Jones said. “It’s a great way for the community to come together, learn about authentic Latin American culture and really just have a great time!”

Participants can get a feel for authentic Latin culture with delicious food, lively music and festive dancing. Children can also enjoy themselves in the event’s fun Kids Zone.

Seven food vendors will be on hand, as will other community organizations such as the Westfield Washington Public Library and Trinity Free Clinic.

The title sponsor for this year’s Amigos de Westfield is Academy Mortgage.

Amigos de Westfield began in 2015 as a partnership with 30 Westfield residents who had a passion to bring their Latin culture to Westfield.
