Why did we decide to produce this
family-oriented festival?

• Census Bureau data shows that the Hispanic population is now the largest minority nationally (at 42 million). In the area, the population grew almost +30% just since 2000; many believe it grew much more as evidenced by the increasing penetration of Hispanics in many industries like construction and service industries.
  
  
• With steps taken like the City of Cincinnati accepting “matricula” cards for identification, and with the potential guest worker legislation proposed by President Bush, the explosive growth is likely to continue and perhaps even accelerate. With that growth comes needs, some of which are unique, like language, and which the community-at-large has not had to deal with hitherto. At the same time, this is an opportunity for many in the community-at-large to learn about a new culture and people, and what they can contribute to the community as they have in many other parts of the country.
  
  
• Net, in this environment, it serves both the total community as well as the local Latino community to proactively work to find ways to successfully bring in this group into our community. This project is one such step in that process.
