Festival Latino of Southern Virginia postponed due to weather forecast

HENRY COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) - Festival Latino of Southern Virginia is canceled for Saturday, September 23.

The festival is to celebrate Hispanic/Latino heritage and to offer local resources to the community.

Organizers say they made the decision to cancel due to Saturday’s weather forecast.

The festival will be postponed to another date.

“One of the main reasons is not to only celebrate the Hispanic Heritage Month, which is from September 15 to October 15, but it also gives us the opportunity through these events to inform our community,” said Sharon Ortiz-Garcia, Festival Latino of Southern Virginia Committee member.

They will post updates on the Festival Latino of Southern Virginia Facebook page.
