4TH OF JULY PARADE
In 2019 and 2022, the Festival Latino of the Berkshires participated in Pittsifled’s July 4th Parade celebrating the United States Independence Day, organized by the Pittsfield Parade Committee, Inc.
Wearing traditional costumes, playing typical music from our decorated float, and dancing through the streets of Pittsfield, the participants enjoyed sharing joy, colorful flair, and cultural richness of the Latino Community.
During the parade on July 4th, 2022, more than 80 volunteers from the Latino Community of the Berkshires from countries like Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica participated with traditional dances and costumes from each respective country and engaged the attendees with their joy and music.
This was an opportunity for young and old to enjoy and know something of the Latino culture, present and alive in the Berkshires.
