Thank you to Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) at Pitt, Luz, Luis, Howard, Caelan, volunteers, Marta Nutini, Chris Nutini, Alek Nutini for a wonderful day and so much help! I never had so much help before! Everyone thought we were rained out but we were rained in, and thanks to all of the staff, it was no problem! I saw old friends, made new ones, ate great food, heard wonderful music, saw amazing dancers. What more could we have asked for? Thank you Marta for this picture before the rains came! 🙌👏🤝

A Little Bit of History...
In the year 1979, one afternoon on an average work day at CLAS, Carmelo Mesa-Lago (Director), June Belkin (Assistant to the Director), and Shirley Kregar (Assistant Director) were discussing the forthcoming year's activities. They wondered, "What can we do to promote cultural awareness of Latin American cultures in Pittsburgh, involving the Latin American groups living in Pittsburgh and in neighboring areas?" Shirley said, "Let's have a Latin American Festival!" At that time, no one could foresee that the Festival would grow to its actual size and that 40 years later it would be considered not only of the most important cultural events at the University level, but more importantly, city-wide! This brings us the 41st edition of the festival, and as the Latino and Hispanic population in Pittsburgh continues to grow, it makes the Festival one of the largest gatherings of Latinos in Western Pennsylvania.
The Mission of the festival is to showcase the cultures of Latin America, the Caribbean and its Diaspora in Pittsburgh region, and to inform the students and the general public of the resources that can be found in the region.
