The final weekend of Carousel of the Nations brought vibrant colours, live music, authentic cuisine and cultural celebrations to Leamington. Visitors explored the Latino and Mexican Villages, enjoyed performances from local musicians and sampled traditional foods while learning about the rich heritage represented throughout the festival. Here is a look back at some of the sights from the weekend.
Celebrating Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico, the Latino Village occupied a spot behind the Roma Club on June 20. Pictured in the Roma Club pavilion, which featured traditional dance and music, are the village’s decorator Lorainny De Darwiche on the left, and one of the village’s organizers, Anita Vallejo, on the right.
