Gracias Gathering Event
Very emotional moments were experienced when Angela Palmer, as the new President of the Festival Latino thanked each of the people who have helped the Festival get to where it is today. As part of the presentation she showed how the Latino Festival of the Berkshires has evolved from its beginnings until today, its passage from Lee to Great Barrington, and each of the people who have contributed to bring the Festival to life each September with their joy, folklore and performance of the Latino culture.

Luis Panche, from the Aboé Group from Colombia, enlivened the evening with typical Latin music that conquered the ears of those present.
