We would like you to be a part of Hawaii’s largest Hispanic cultural event.
We are excited to inform you that the Annual Hispanic Heritage Festival & Health Fair, the premier event in the Hispanic community in Hawaii, will be a 2 day event held on Saturday and Sunday, October 14-15, 2023.
We would like you to be a part of the largest Hispanic cultural event. Past years the festival attracted over 3000 local and tourist populations. The festival showcases various aspects of the Hispanic culture, with food booths, crafters, and community and health agencies; including live entertainment featuring local and international artists. The festival allows local entrepreneurs to showcase their products to thousands of people who attend the festival.
This event is open to the public and encourages families, students, business owners and visitors to explore new rhythms, exotic tastes and mesmerizing dances. A portion of proceeds will be used to fund Annual Scholarships for outstanding Hispanic students entering or currently enrolled in college and the American Veterans, West Oahu.
We encourage you to participate in this popular event by purchasing the appropriate booth. The magnitude of this event, the exposure it creates, and the opportunities it provides for public contact, will benefit you.
We hope you will support and be a part of us, as we bring to Hawaii the biggest event in the Hispanic community.
“Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America.”
