YOUNGSTOWN
Dozens of people took to downtown to enjoy Spanish beats and authentic cuisine during the Second Annual Spanish Heritage Festival.
Carlos Rivera, festival organizer and treasurer of the Youngstown Spanish Heritage Festival Committee, said he remembers a similar festival years ago that ended in the ‘90s, Last year, he and a few others decided to bring a Spanish heritage-based event back to the Mahoning Valley.
Rivera said last year the event was for one day, but the committee expanded it to two days this year. He said Saturday was successful and he expects a good turnout for today as well.
