The Cincinnati Hispanic Festival is a fund-raising activity that began in 1994. Although, over the years, it has expanded tremendously. Our festival started at St. Aloysius Church, Vine Street, which we shared with the Vietnamese community. 聽When we moved to San Carlos Borromeo it became an extraordinary event, coordinated and supported by many volunteers. The popularity of the festival grew and began to receive some notoriety outside of the church community.聽 It received the Cincinnati Enquirer’s “Good Taste”; Award in 2000.聽 In 2002, the festival began crowning the Festival Queen. In 2005, the Hispanic festival moved to the Hamilton County Fair Grounds. In 2013, the Copa Su Casa soccer tournament joined the party. The semi-final and final games took place at the festival and the awards were presented on stage. Since then, our festival has been organized for 26 years. Offering a variety of Latin American food, folkloric dances, live music and entertainment for all. With the funds raised from the festival, year after year, we have been able to support families in need from the Latino community with scholarships, assistance with payments for utility bills, house rental bills, food, and in some cases, assistance with funeral costs.
