Feeling the Vibe at the Hispanic Heritage Festival of Hernando

Saturday afternoon visitors to Hunters Lake in Spring Hill were greeted by festive salsa music rolling over the water and through the woods, heralding the fall Hispanic Heritage Festival of Hernando and inviting all to join. Food trucks and tents, along with vendors, lined the perimeter of the Lake House’s spacious backyard, surrounding locals relaxing in folding chairs brought from home.

Latin percussion group Rumberos for Life played along with music from the grandstand, spicing up the already festive vibe, while Hydroponic Acres Farm offered all the vegetables and herbs needed to create a fresh Sofrito paste at home. A mouth-watering Puerto Rican spread by Flavors of Spring Hill had people lining up for fresh empanadas, sorullos de maiz, and alcapunas. Among the merchandise vendors, Jazzie Jessie’s sparkling glitter epoxy mugs and other shiny cups caught the eye.

Brijbag Law, Florida’s A-Team Realty, and Windmar Solar presented their services to the community. Representatives of You Thrive Florida, a local non-profit organization, provided information on community Head Start preschool services.

In a solemn moment, Hernando County Commissioner Brian Hawkins read aloud the February 27, 2024, Florida House Bill 8053, which is a resolution declaring September 15 to October 15 “Latin and Hispanic Heritage” month in Florida. Soon afterward, the music resumed, and festivalgoers began making their way to the dance area in front of the bandstand, with Roxaly Pizzaro and Joselyn Kamal of Di Baile Dance School leading the show.
