Presented by Hispanics United for Perry, the annual Latino Fest began with a parade and ended with a sizable crowd filling the streets of downtown Perry.
A variety of vendors and food tents lined a two-block stretch of Second Street, with traditional music and appetite-inducing smells filling the air. DJs Angel, Lening and Juanito provided entertainment, with Tropicalisimo Fuego and Group Aferrado performing in the Raccoon Valley Bank courtyard.
Folk dancers entertained the crowd, with face painting for youngsters also drawing a steady crowd. The event began at 10 a.m. and finished at 8 p.m.
