30th annual Hispanic festival held in Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Hispanic-American Cultural Association of the CSRA held its 30th annual festival on Saturday.

News 12 video journalist Breck Brigham was there and gave us the sights and sounds of the event.

“This weekend, we have been celebrating the 30th annual Hispanic festival. The weather’s been absolutely great. The food has been even better. The music and the celebration is just starting to pick up even further. So it’s been a great weekend,” said Micki Berrios, VP of the Hispanic Cultural Association.

I think everyone needed a little of something spicy to just kind of get the weekend going, and they’ve really enjoyed it,” said Berrios. “So you see a lot of multi-generations out here. I think that’s really what I love about the festival is that it just brings out so many different people and so many ages and groups that it’s just a great time.”

“It has been very heartwarming to see so many friends and family come out and just really celebrate,” said Berrios. “I have some kids that came up to me and said, ‘I remember when I was six or seven and that was the first time, and now they have their own kids.’”

“I love to teach people about different cultures and give them the opportunity to connect. And I think that that’s exactly what this has brought everyone, an opportunity to learn something new,” said Berrios.
