With October marking the Hispanic heritage month in Canada, Last Saturday was a colourful time at the Double Tree Hilton as participants gathered to celebrate Fiesta Latina.

Laughter, dance and the smell of Tacos filled the hall as this annual event hosted by the Hispanic Society of Kamloops, is a celebration of everything Hispanic—food, culture, dance, music and colors. In the Loops was given the chance to speak to Yamilka Zienowicz, a volunteer with the HSK, as well as Adam Lopez, a Mexican student at TRU about this celebration.

Fiesta Latina reflected the warmth of the Hispanic society in Kamloops, as it embraced individuals from other cultures as Canadians, as well as other ethnicities were present at the event. The event ended an overall success as people danced and chanted all night to the rhythm of the DJ, eating, drinking and singing their hearts out.

The Hispanic Society of Kamloops continues to host other Hispanic-centered events around Kamloops that are open for anyone who wants to take a peek into the beautiful Hispanic culture. More details are on their page.
