Here are some videos of Spanish Harlem Orchestra and Conjunto Costazul for you to get a quick preview:
This festival will be a full day event starting at 10am and ending at 6pm. Best part about it is that it will be a FREE event for kids 12 and under. Everyone else can purchase tickets in advance for the event.
