PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Members of the Viva El Folklore International Dance group perform el Sinaloense, a traditional dance from Sinaloa, Mexico, during the Latino Arts Festival at the Park City Library last year. The festival will return this year and will be held outside at Library Field. Library Field will come alive with dance, visual art and music SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record The Christian Center of Park City will take the public on a tour of Latin America that will include Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela. “From there we will go to Mexico and then take a boat from Cancun to the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean Islands, without leaving the Park City Library Field,” said Max Ventura, the Christian Center of Park City’s Latino outreach coordinator. Ventura should know. He is the producer of the nonprofit’s annual Latino Arts Festival that will be held Saturday, June 16, and Sunday, June 17, at the Park City Library, 1255 Park Ave. Now in its third year, the event is still the only festival in Utah that focuses solely on Latino arts, according to Ventura, who hails from the Dominican Republic. “There are Latino parties and events around the state, but our event is only about the art,” he said. “That’s the vision. And when people come to the festival, they will live and experience the colors and vibrancy of Latin-American heritage.” The festival will feature 18 to 20 art vendors, and many more performing artists from Latino countries, Ventura said. “We will present folkloric dance from Chile, Mariachi music from Mexico and a Peruvian band who will play music from the Andes mountains,” he said. Latinos comprise roughly 25 per- cent of the population of Park City and surrounding areas, including Kamas, Coalville and Heber, Ventura said. “Not all Latinos here are from Mexico,” he said. “We have a great variety of Latinos who come from Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile, Bolivia, Dominican Republic. So this festival will celebrate what the Latino population has to offer.” Admission to the festival is free, and Ventura encouraged people to use Park City’s free public transportation to attend the festival, because parking is limited. While most of the Latino Arts Festival performances and displays — fine art, crafts, live music, folk dance and food trucks — will be showcased on the field, the Sundance Institute will collaborate with the Christian Center and host a special screening of Peter Bratt’s 2017 documentary “Dolores: Rebel. Activist. Feminist. Mother” in the Jim Santy Auditorium at 8 p.m. on Saturday. “The film is about the life of Dolores Huerta, who fought and is still fighting for civil rights, specifically immigrant rights in the United States,” Ventura said. “We are very grateful to the Sundance Institute to work with us on the screening.” Ventura also expressed gratitude to the Park City Chamber/Bureau. “They were so generous in making the festival happen,” he said. “They believed in our project from the beginning and were one of the first organizations to come on board.” Other partners include the Kimball Art Center, South Summit Elementary School and the Park City Summit County Arts Council, Ventura said. “The Kimball Art Center and South Please see Festival, C-5 PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Chasquis, a group that plays Peruvian music from the Andes Mountains, share a laugh during last year’s Latino Festival.
