I really enjoy the celebration because attracts many people outside South Minneapolis, this helps me to promote my business to more people and my sales really increase that day. One of the things that I like the most about the celebration is that the entertainment is full of cultural dancers who represent the Latino culture

I really enjoy the celebration because I like to see families together. I like to see the parents with their kids on the pony rides and to see the kids dress up like mariachis or dancers. That means that the parents are teaching their kids our culture.
Personally, the celebration helps my business with publicity and my sales are good the day of the celebration. It is worth all of the work I spend preparing for the celebration.

We love to participate in this Celebration because it reminds us of our traditions. The event is very well organized and advertised. Many people come that day to celebrate, which helps me as a restaurant owner to increase my sales.

It was an opportunity for the people that live outside of Minneapolis and St. Paul to become familiar with our products.

For us, it was a great way to meet more Hispanic people, teach people to cook in a healthy way and increase or sales. We will participate again next year.

At this Celebration I sold a lot. Many families came and it was wonderful for me to see so many Hispanic people. The environment was filled with Hispanic culture.

The people came to shop, eat and have fun. I have been waiting for this celebration, not only because it helps to promote my business, but it also helps to remind me of the traditions of my country.
