Don't those people downtown do anything but party? This Saturday, the inaugural Latin American Parade and Festival will cover most of the downtown area with music, dancing, kids activities and lots of food. The event was planned to honor Mexican Independence Day on September 16, so the weekend closest to that date was chosen. The parade begins at 7th and Pine at 3 pm with bands and floats and Grand Marshall Jenny Oropeza along with a phalanx of other politicians. Eventually, the festivities will center around 1st and Elm where entertainment includes dance groups like Danzas Aztecas and musical groups like Carlos, a Santana tribute band. There will be art and fitness sessions as well as salsa lessons. That's dancing not eating by the way.
