Various cultural dance groups and performers will be spotlighted throughout the evening. Performances will include Patchogue-Medford Library Danzas Culturales, Footsteps Elite Team, Danfosal Salvadorian dancers, Latin Minis dance troupe, and Latin performing artists Tizard and Klass Santana.

Chairman of the LLC, Javier Kinghorn, organized the free event with his committee as gift to the entire community.

"Roughly a third of our community is Hispanic," says Kinghorn. "It is imperative that this demographic be recognized for its cultural and economic contributions to the Greater Patchogue area. Our objective is to unite all ethnicities under one roof for an evening celebrating the rich cultural traditions of our Latin-American community."

Kinghorn says that Patchogue Theatre was the perfect venue for the event since its fully committed to hosting cultural events that are representative of the community it serves.

"We are so thankful to the Latino Leadership Council and Patchogue Theatre for organizing this wonderful event," says Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, David Kennedy. "Patchogue is blessed with such rich cultural diversity and it is incredibly important we celebrate our Hispanic community that is so vital to what makes Patchogue special, especially now."
