Salsa singer Frankie Negrón will headline a festival and concert marking 50 years of Hispanic Heritage celebrations in Wilmington this weekend.
The Hispanic Heritage 50th Anniversary Celebration Kick-off will take place Saturday, Sept. 12, from noon-6 p.m. in the Delaware Art Museum’s Sculpture Garden. The event will include live music, an outdoor dance floor, food and artisan vendors.
The program also will pay tribute to five decades of Hispanic culture and community in Wilmington.
The city’s Hispanic Heritage celebration began as a small gathering in the mid-1970s and developed into an annual kickoff to Hispanic Heritage Month. Nuestras Raíces Delaware is presenting the anniversary event in partnership with the museum.
General admission costs $15. The admission fee serves as a direct donation supporting the 50th anniversary programs, and tickets are required for entry to the concert and tribute celebration.
