EAST WINDSOR, NJ — Mercer County's popular celebration of Hispanic culture returns this fall with the 3rd Annual Fiesta Latina. The event will feature live music from chart-topping artists, authentic cuisine, and family activities.

County Executive Dan Benson and the Board of County Commissioners announced the festival will take place Saturday, Sept. 6, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Mercer County Park Festival Grounds.

The event honors Hispanic Heritage Month and the county's significant Latino population.

"Fiesta Latina has quickly become a highlight of the summer for families in Mercer County and across the region," said County Executive Benson. "One in five Mercer residents is Latino, so Latino culture is an integral part of our county. It's always an honor to help celebrate the vibrant and beautiful traditions of this diverse community."

This year's lineup features Limi-T 21, the Puerto Rican trio known for their energetic merengue music and gold and platinum records, alongside salsa legend Johnny Ray and his band Salsa Con Clase. World-renowned DJ Ralphie Mercado will host the day's festivities.

Beyond the musical performances, attendees can enjoy authentic Hispanic food vendors, craft booths, and children's activities throughout the afternoon celebration.
