.:About Latin Music Fest:.
Vision Statement
It is the vision of the Latin Music Fest to create, through its various activities, a sense of pride, historical understanding and greater self-esteem among all citizens of Latin American origin living in the state of Wisconsin, particularly those in the Greater Milwaukee area. We also wish to share with the general public the beauty of the different Latin American cultures to promote a better understanding and respect for all those living in the multicultural setting that surrounds us.
Mission Statement
Latin Music Fest will showcase the culture and vitality of Milwaukee’s Latino Community as well as other Latin American heritages. Through its activities, the Latin Music Fest expects to promote a greater understanding of the Latin American culture. It will plan and promote activities of a cultural and historical nature to enhance fraternal
relations among all Latino as well as non-Latino groups. Through diverse activities, with a heavy emphasis on music, we will continue to work with our youth to teach them about the Latin American culture, music, dance, art and history. We will strive to impress upon our people the value of education beyond high school, especially to those committed to the community either to work or volunteer.
