The best of Latin American food and culture will descend on BBpark, Bukit Bintang this May for the 8th Latin American Festival. Happening on May 22, visitors will get a slight glimpse of diverse Latin American tastes, sounds and colours.

 With representatives from countries like Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba and Mexico, the festival will serve up the best of Latin American cuisine from across the continent. Also on offer are original handicrafts to help bring a Latino touch to your home and live music and dance performances to round out the colourful day.

Visitors will also get to participate in a lucky draw where a flight ticket to Amsterdam, tablets and smartphones can be won.

Organized by the Group of Latin America and Caribbean Countries (GRULAC) in Malaysia, proceeds from the festival will be given to KIRTARSH; a non-profitable home that shelters and cares for special and underprivileged children from all racial and religious backgrounds.

The 8th Latin American Festival will be held on May 22, from 11AM to 7PM at BBpark, Bukit Bintang.
