Thousands of visitors spent the weekend at the 16th annual HoLa Festival in Market Square. The event, hosted by Hola Hora Latina, was created to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by demonstrating art and cultural traditions.
On Saturday, Sept. 27 Market Square was alive with the sounds of salsa. The 15th annual HoLa Festival kicked off with music and dancing as the Orquesta de Jamie Bonilla played a mix of Hispanic music and the crowd learned to dance with Music City Salsa. For HoLa Festival’s first two-day event, vendors lined the square selling traditional foods, bracelets, clothing and art.
